[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 42698, member: 586"] Another bike at the Bonhams auction is this one [url]http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/21135/lot/295/?list_search_query=1&lang=en_us&back_to_year=2003&sale_no=21135&limit=9999&query=vincent&create_facets=False&page_anchor=MR1_page_lots%3D2%26r1%3D10%26b1%3Dlist%26m1%3D1%26q1_1%3Dvincent[/url] A friend here in Australia is seriously thinking about bidding and buying it. If anyone has any knowledge of the machine or any comments then they will all be taken on board and considered. I have a few concerns: we all know of stories circulating about the builder but I want some real constructive (1st hand experiences) comments; to me it is wrong to remove the downtube of a featherbed frame as it is an integral part of the design, or am I talking out of my ..... hat? What crankcases would have been used? why has it only 20Km on the dial? what do YOU think it is worth? why has it got Black Shadow stampings on the engine? If you have a Norvin then please send me your thoughts; either on the forum or a PM. This is fairly urgent as my friend has to deal with customs and traffic licencing departments BEFORE he buys it. This is what the club is all about, members assisting others so as to reduce heartache, tears and regret. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
