Here's something I found:
_Triumph TR6_ by William Kennedy, (specs on pg. 143):
"1969 Model: leather rim, black spokes, 15" diameter."
"1970-73: leather rim, anodised slotted spokes, 15" diameter."
"1973 on: leather rim, anodised slotted spokes, 14.5" diameter."
And on page 38, referring to the TR6 model change: "The rim and horn
centre continued to be padded and leather-wrapped."
Looks like I'll have to reverse myself (again) and assume that the stock
TR6 wheel does, in fact, have a leather rim.
