Because old Triumphs from the era 1963 to the 70’s are a popular choice for customization, why not keep the original frame and turn it into a cool rigid. This hardtail section doesn’t need any cutting or welding. It’s a 1″ O.D. DOM steel tubing bolt-on piece with laser cut mounting brackets and axle plates from 3/8″ thick plate steel. It’s available in 0″, 3″ or 5″ stretch. Available in raw finish for your paint can if you go “root” ($165), or in stainless steel (add $100) or in polished stainless steel (add $200.) At Acme Choppers.

Ummm…the old Triumph in the pic has a different hardtail than the one’s shown below it…
Sharkey. Not so sure.
sharkey’s right, look at the loop tail on that, A’ la SE BMX style…
Sharkey – spot on. In fact the ACME CHOPPERS website shows remarkably few examples of what bikes look like with their frames and bolt-on.., rather bizarre…
Maybe the purpose was not more than to show a rigid Triumph built by ACME.
Sorry, but “old hardtails” are not for us “old riders”.
I rode Triumph hard tails with ridgid frames in the 60s and 70s.Ruined my back and knees,I loved every minute of it!
Put 1 on my tiger in 72 W/ a Springer loved that bike
The one on the bike looks like a Corbin hard tail , built through the ‘ 70 s @ Corbin Gentry.
