Correction: To the outside world it did not move an inch-in the auction. like ducks on water most of the movment is not seen on the surface which is why the Bonhams estimate is so important.

Vibrac - well, it don't move that far. That's why it's up for auction again, surely?
No not in that instance but the difference between the auctions reserve (not met) and the sellers original requested reserve
(met) often gives space for maneuvers in the dark after the party (so to speak)
Thanks to those who have taken the time to look at these bikes. I appreciate all of the helpful comments and advice.
Hold your money, join this club, get active with your local section, see whats starts to turn up. Best of luck.

Is the owner of the Norvin for auction on the 28th a member? If so then he could do himself a favour by telling us more about the bike. My friend is very keen but a bit hesitant (understandably so) to bid too high due to the prior failure to sell and the "history" of the builder.
