Sometimes I feel like there aren't any folks using old brit bikes to make their cafe bikes. I love the CBs and such, but the Triumphs, Nortons, and BSAs always seem to have the coolest lines and details. Maybe I'm just partial, but let's see them gems anyhow. I'd post up mine, but there are plenty of pics of that heap in my build thread.
i have an old brit bike now, not exactly cafe material though. it's a 1948 ariel square four. there is a guy in town that has a rickman faired commando 850.
yo portland peeps! I've got an old rumph but it is currently shop decor. '69 T100 barn queen courtesy of cycle icons, I've started to save up some parts, doing her up as a desert racer. hopefully this summer. cheers, bcr
Not Cafe, but I have a 1955 Tiger Cub project. It is a cool little bike with it's plunger frame. I would like to sell it to finance other projects though. $1800. Like a fool I turned down $2K for it at Mid O.
1973 850 Commando, owned it since the early 80's.
Frequented the Northern CA cafes of Skyline Blvd, La Honda, etc in the early 90's, now confined to the track in NH.
i have a 66 bsa spitfire I am working on. Trying to decide if I want to go with back with the stock fork tubes or put those on a shelve and use some 70's honda tubes for looking super clean.

I've had a bunch of Brit stuff, stockers, specials, cafes, dirt trackers, enduros, trials, and road racers. I'd attach a pic or two, but I'm not sure how to do it. The cafe thing really started with the British bikes, so even a 60's Triumph with a set of ace bars looks cafe.
