Hi,

I'm sorry, I can't help with the details of the bike (if that's the original badge transfer, it is in remarkable condition!)

This is Grace's Guide to historic UK businesses, which gives a history of the company.

It has this good April 1899 advertisment for a Triumph Tandem. I wonder if any survive?

...which may be of interest.

I'm not sure on that headbadge transfer being from that early period that your bicycle clearly dates from; I thought they used brass headbadges early on, but I'm no expert.
Sorry I can't help more.
