Thorsten Schlesinger is an artist. As a trained product designer, his major job is to feel and understand the character of materials. But his empathy for things goes beyond business – it also applies to areas of his private life. The build of this stunningly beautiful, yet rideable Triumph-bastard is proof for that.

The birth of “Rosi Nante“ took Thorsten four years, using a BSA plunger frame from 1949, an ancient Velocette girder fork from 1938 and a 1967 Triumph unit engine. But it´s not about the motorcycle itself. Thorsten ceated a complete universe around the TriBSA, stitching his own leather suit and making it the brainchild of a fictional character.

Guess what, it´s no story you can make short, so be prepared to read an in-depth report about him and the bike soon…
