Re: Norton wd frame or not

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

Re: Norton wd frame or not

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

Re: Norton wd frame or not

All

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..
