Found this Norman on CL about twenty minutes after it was posted and snapped it up. From what I can determine, based on the SA shifter and the bicycle license, the bike is a 1960-62 model, which would be after Norman was enshrouded by the almighty. In current form the bike is pretty bare, and in none-too-good of a condition. At least the frame isn't all rusty though, and the rust that is present, on the wheels and such, is fairly minor. The paint is rubbed off all over the place... I'm sort of amazed that it hasn't rusted up in those bare spots yet...

So, I'm pretty sure I want to paint it (as close to the original as I can manage of course), and would also like to figure out what model this is so I can outfit it appropriately. I plan on gifting it to someone when I'm all done with it, so I'm trying to stay under 200usd... We'll see how that goes...

Here's some photos:












Poor, poor paint...









So... thoughts, suggestions? Any and all comments welcome. (Sorry for all the pictures. )
