    Hi guys

    I’ve been offered a trident with a alloy rear light why I’ve been told makes it very rare. I’m dont know a lot about older bikes but wondered how true this is??

    Thanks for your help in advance

    cheers Dan

    Alloy rear light as a rarity? That's a new one on me, be it Meriden, Small Heath or Hinckley in origin.
    But just because I've not come across that before does not make it wrong. I'll happily stand correction if needs be but I have my doubts. Hmmmm ......
    Perhaps they are all alloy. Or chromed steel. Maybe I should look closer next time I see one. My brain hurts!!!

    Tbh it’s not one I’ve heard of either hence asking on here but the guy seeking it is adamant it’s rare

    Perhaps someone like @darkman can help. I'm really not convinced but am willing to be. Any idea which year the bike is as that may be useful for others who may be able to help?

    Dan: If you buy something old enough, pretty soon it becomes rare ;) ...J.D.
