Topic: Intra mag wheels

That is a Rob North framed Triumph Trident.  One of the most successful racing bikes of all time.  The frame was made for the factory prepared race bikes.  There are 2 versions of the North frame, the highboy and the lowboy.  The tanks were made specifically to fit the North frame.  An interesting feature of the North frame was the twin tubes that ran from the swingarm pivot boss to the steering head around the engine not over it.  Those are the bikes that essentially pushed the CR750 out of contention in worldwide road racing in 1970-1971.

Very similar frame design to a lot of modern bikes, way ahead of its time....

I've got this rat bike waiting to be tinkered with.  Frank 754 mention it's martin, but looks very similar to the triumph posted above

Looks like s stock frame & swingarm.

Rookster, you're right, those North framed triples were a potent race bike for quite a while. There were several top riders racing those.

By the way Curtis told me his wheels were static sand cast in a foundry in Vancouver, but that the casting quality became a problem in time and he decided to cease production. He said the wheels sold very well during that time. About this same time Morris started producing wheels in a lightly spun sand cast arrangement that obviously worked well.

These are wheels are branded "Intra" and are stamped "made in West Germany." Through some more searches they are def not Morris and appear to be similar EPM mags used on Ducati race bikes. They were sold to me as Lester's but once they were opened and inspected, clearly not.
