Anymore info on this Triumph? Is it one of the originals?
'Squalo' is a very pleasing word.I wish there were more opportunities to use it. I guess I'll just have to breed.

- Nope, it's a Bonneville based replica of one of the original 1977 Gordon Matthews' framed 'Cider Sliders' that were built for the Yanks in the UK series (that flopped but were still historical).

Cheers Ben -The original was one of the bikes that influenced my own Triumph Project. Love the Orange tanks!

I've been meaning to visit the one they have in London to take some pics - unless anybody else has?
I might paint my bike Yellow and put a Corona Beer Badge on it!
He guys,
Thanks for the pic on this site from my bike (strongbow cider slider). I hope you like it. I did my best to rebuild it and yes, the front brake is not original, but I like to drive it on the public road as well..!!

Just picked up this blog again & found the cider slider. Sadly I spent 1/2 hour staring at the original one in the Greenford Museum thinking how I could get one myself & put it on the road. 1stDalton we need to speak, is it a trackmaster frame etc?
Cheers Sonic
