[QUOTE="Pushrod Twin, post: 112559, member: 340"] Remarkably similar to the one featured in Classic Bike, Aug 1982, but I suspect not the same bike. Interestingly, that issue of CB has a reprint of the 1972 article outlining the build of the Norvin Nemesis. My Vincent adventure started with the desire to build a Norvin when I fell into the ownership of a Wideline Dominator frame back in the '70's and one could argue that the Vin motor I finally found was the perfect candidate, having had the gearbox chopped off. However, I learned that Dominator frames have a tendency to crack the front tubes at the steering head, mine was just starting, so I chose to go down the Egli route. Considering that Fritz reputedly used "Manx steering geometry" combined with mounting the engine as the designers intended, I believe it is the best of both worlds. [/QUOTE]
