Triumph Bonneville by Dime City Cycles

Reading time: about 1 minute.

This beautiful Triumph Bonneville by Dime City Cycles is currently being given away to benefit an orphanage in Peru, the competition is open to a full international audience and it even includes free shipping to your current country of residence. If you’d like to enter the competition I’ll post the link right here before I keep rambling on, as you’ve probably stopped reading already.

The bike was built by Dime City Cycles and Iron & Air with the help of Triumph, British Customs, Progressive Suspension and The Speed Merchant. It’s been gone over so thoroughly that I suspect it might be one of the best set up Bonnevilles in the world.

If you’d like to read more about this bike and the charity that it’s supporting, click the link to visit Iron & Air Magazine. It’s a worthy cause and it’s not everyday you get a chance to park a Bonneville in your garage.
