Famous fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld managed to take anyone passing by the Chanel boutique on Rue Royale in the French capital by surprise, as the press kit for Chanel’s pre-spring collection ‘Starting Point’ was shooting.
The photo session held during the Paris Fashion Week, featuring a motorcycle commissioned especially for Chanel and models Lara Stone and Baptiste Giacobini, looked quite promising, and we can’t wait to see the official photos released by the prestigious fashion house. The Chanel-branded Triton was customized for Chanel in Toulouse, France,
The original Triton was a modified cafe racer motorcycle of the 1960s, its name deriving from contracting the two motorcycle brand names, Tri(umph) and (Nor)ton. It was intended to be a superior bike which combined the best elements of each brand. So the Triumph parallel twin engine was taken and used to replace the engine on a Norton Featherbed framed motorcycle that was seen as the best handling motorcycle of those days. But the Triton was the only hybrid made by combining to motorcycle brands. Tribsa, an alternative to the Triton, was a Triumph engine in a BSA frame but other frame and engine combinations were also made, while Vincent V-twin motors have been fitted into featherbed frames making a hybrid called a Norvin.

The History of THE CAFERACER
Ik ben binnen... in de schuur
en bij goed weer lig ik soms buiten
achter de muur.
Zonder een weinig fanatisme brengt niemand ooit iets tot stand.
You can leave it all behind on a Triumph '39.
“The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”
Thomas Paine
