Gee, Brian... Do you want a list???
They are Triumph people. (the others treat TRs as "also rans").
They take time to answer even stupid questions (As a first time TR
restorer my rebuild would have been a lot harder without their
technical input).
They have various no "longer available" parts remanufactured
(There are plenty of TR6s running around on good frames that TRF
cared enough to pioneer remanufacturing).
They have knowledgible people answering phones and will tell you
if something is out of stock and about when it will come back in
if they can. All you have to do is ask.
I could go on, but your line "there prices are the third best
behind moss and vb" says it all". For you "COST" is the prime
consideration. Baskin Robbins stores have a sign the reads
something like:
"There is nothing made that an unscrupulous man can make a litte
shoddier or cheaply. Those people who consider price alone as
their only consideration are this man's lawful prey..."
I have been a TRF customer since 1985. Sure I'll patronize the
others if I'm in a hurry and TRF is out of stock and I can't wait.
But you know the first call I'll make before going elswhere will
be to Armagh, PA.
