What does RB know about these bikes? I do know that they were made in the Midlands by someone called Matt Norman during the 1990's, he also made MTB's which is where I first encountered the brand, beyond that I can't find any information.
Just bought this with a view to converting it to flat bar, the tubing is Reynolds 853, I'm sure road purists will be offended but I'm also thinking of getting some slightly wider rims and tyres (32's?) to cope better with light trails, so it's possible that I may need to change the brake calipers to accommodate that?
It was love at first sight as far as the frameset goes, I like that it was hand built by a little known regional frame builder, and regardless of whether or not it's a particularly prestigious brand I'm really looking forward to riding the hell out of it.
Any thoughts or insights would be very much appreciated.
