Property of a deceased's estate Norton Featherbed frames x2

Designed by Rex McCandless and first introduced on Norton's works racers in 1950, the 'Featherbed' frame set new standards of roadholding, steering and rider comfort (hence the name), enabling Norton to prolong the competitiveness of its racing singles to such an extent that the British firm was able to win a further three World Championships in the face of formidable multi-cylinder opposition from Italy. When the production version arrived it immediately attracted the attention of specials builders, and since then has been used to house almost every conceivable type of engine, by far the most popular being the Triumph twin. This Lot consists of two Featherbed frames plus an additional swinging arm. No reserve.
