Okay, people asked for photos of what we have... we do a LOT of shows and we've been involved in a LOT of restorations.
It started off where I bought the frame of an old 50's Norman, restored that... then got another, and another, and before I knew it I was the guy in the Norman club that people asked advice from! Well, as far as vintage bicycles go, there's not really much I don't know and even parts that most enthusiasts are adament are 'rare', I know how to obtain
I've been having a cull of the collection recently and I thought about doing something else a few months ago.
I'd been toying with doing a Norman Nippy for a while, it's pretty much just a bicycle with bicycle parts, and a 50cc engine on it! So, bought one, then another, then another, now we have 4
One has just passed it's mot and will be back on the road for the first time in nearly 25 years in a couple of weeks time!
THEN... to continue the "powered bicycle" theme... I begged my wife for a C5, and here I am now. So, I'm all clued up on restorations, show rather than use, and have a VERY understanding wife
Here we go...
Number 1...
Pod not working, I think it's a control box fault so I'll be sending that for repairs as and when... will be changing from the nasty white tyres too lol! Now has a set of mirrors in the post to go on it
