Well, funny you say that Kamil...  ;D

I can't bear to see a Norman scrapped, and that's why I've got so many of them. Most of them came from really far places but there's a great story about this one...



I saw it on Ebay in the Scottish highlands... Stranraer. I thought "How the hell am I going to get that to Bournemouth??", but I chatted to the seller, he agreed that if I could get a local bike shop to agree to pack it he's drop it there. Well, there was no bike shop near there, but I found a guy that rented out mountain bikes about 20 miles from him, he said he'd drop it there for £10 fuel, and the bike shop guy said he'd pack it in a bike box for £10. That still left how to get it here!

I called LOADS of companies up, and I got it delivered here for... ready? £8. Parcel Monkey  8) I've still got no idea how they made a profit out of that, but they did it! Bicycles can be really cheap to transport  :) I actually know most of the history of all of the bikes in my collection, but it's just got to the point that (as my tagline says) I've got WAY too much on with making silicone moulds for the C5's, keeping the other 5 bicycles roadworthy, etc etc etc, that this lot are just going to be sitting doing nothing for a long, long time.

The Nippy would make someone a fantastic project, the Mk1's one of the rarest, and the sidepanels for it are harder to find that boxed indicators for the C5! But again, it's been sitting in the garage for 2 years and it'll more than likely sit there for another 5 before I get around to it which is why it's gotta go!
