Motorcycle News - Dream Garage: A Triumph T100 with a matching Porsche 911

Led by founder Sébastien Guillemot, the crew from Chauvigny have created this very stylish T100, which is the latest in their ‘Legend’ series—a line of Triumphs subtly upgraded with immaculate Gallic style.
“Our customer has a Triumph TR5C and wanted a more modern bike,” says Sébastien. “He wanted a reliable bike with a vintage look, one that has brakes and can go far…”
FCR amped up the vintage vibe by rounding off the back of the frame, taking cues from 1970s motocross bikes. Once the welding was complete, they tidied up the rest of the frame, stripped it back to bare metal and polished it before applying copper and nickel plating.
There’s elegant metal elsewhere too, with custom aluminum fenders at both ends, supported by a handmade arched support at the front.
The metal treatments continue on the parallel twin engine, with brushed aluminum for the cases, drillium on the gearbox case, and a protective bash guard bolted to the frame downtubes. The scrambler-style exhaust is made in-house, and although the straight pipes have baffles inside them, you can bet they’re pretty raspy.
The turn signals and taillight are from the catalog too, along with the yellow-lensed Bates-style headlight in brushed aluminum, and the bracket that secures it to the bottom yoke.
The exquisite paint on the tank was handled in-house, and it’s as classic as it gets—a two-tone green and ivory, topped off with a brushed aluminum fuel cap.
