I offered my 23" Bespoke frame up to the list and got no interest. I plan to put it on ebay sometime early next year unless someone takes it off my hands for 275GBP beforehand. 531 butted tubes, Nervex Pro lugs (but not fork crown because there were none left when this frame was built, so I'm told), chromed Campagnolo vertical dropouts, repainted in dark blue with correct decals, made in nineteen eighty-something. Perhaps this is the one that Joe refers to? The quality lasts long after the price is forgotten.

Think your right. The wonderful thing about Norris's frames is that they are really truly worthy of the name of Bespoke. The word when used in its traditional form means craftsman made by a skilled artisan to a customers specification. Norris's stuff most certainly encompasses these virtues ans is a very apt name for these super quality frames he made, only wish I had purchased one in the 1980's. Have only ever seen one advertised and they wanted a fortune for it. Perhaps one day I will be lucky. Best wishes Joe K wales.
