That sounds like a fantastic bike, a grey Model 19 with extras. I would have to try and build it back to that now
Correct me if I'm wrong Rik, but wasn't the "Colonial" Norton's given the higher ground-clearance frame? I'm sure I read that somewhere, but that maybe for earlier bikes.
Ah, just answering my own question, a 600cc Model 19 engine wouldn't fit in the higher ground-clearance frame, but a 500cc engine will
The 'Colonial' spec related to the Model 16'C' in the 1920s. It seems to have disappeared with the last of the flat-tankers. There was no 16C in the post-1932 Edgar Franks range.
Yep, a grey Norton with a crankcase shield, a solar topee and breeches...I like the sound of that pose !
Thanks Rik, I thought it might be for earlier bikes
A 1935 Model 19 would have the open valve engine with parallel pushrods, lovely if you can find one
Many thanks for your respond and comments. It comes to conclude that the frame is not WD frame.
I am very far away from all you experience about Norton bike. Nice group here..
