Running out of space, so the old bikes have to go. A couple of nice ones here -
Extremely rare vintage Norman bicycle - the special edition "Coronation Model", produced in 1953 to commemorate the official start of the second Elizabethan Age. The 3 speed Sturmey Archer hub is dated April 53; the frame is 531 Reynolds and measures (seattube) approx. 22 inches. The bicycle has the classic Norman chainwheel, a Brooks B15 Champion Standard saddle and Dunlop rims (26x1 1/4). The downtube has special decal featuring a castle/palace with flag flying bordered by the letters "ER" (Elizabeth Regina). The patina is extraordinary. Looking for £150 for it.
Viking road bike - Ian Steel model, with scrappy paintwork and which definitely needs a clean and polish, but with tremendous, 1950s components - Bluemel mudguards, Webb pedals, Dunlop rims with BH Eureka hubs (freewheel and fixed rear), Williams chainwheel dated 1958, GB stem, Campagnolo Gran Sport gears etc. Reynolds 531 tubing, 56cm seattube. Looking for £130 for it, but open to offers as I haven't looked after it as well as the other and it's a bit more of a project.
