I totally misread Dan's comment about Norris' flying gates and bridges and such, which brought me to a bike that I see around town from time to time (especially at Critical Mass)...

...that could've been built any time after about 1938 (except for the King Ghidora figure (which might not be original equipment)), but I think it's actually an off-topic vintage.
Sorry -- back to your regularly-scheduled list.

Interesting frames, Norris. Listers, do follow the instructions above and click the Pictures tab. (Me: running like a puppy straight at the four thumbnails to the right of the screen. It's still possible to get to the other photos from there, but do it Norris' way!)
In earlier postings I believe Norris mentioned his split seat-tube machines , and he's posted photos of a couple of nice examples. See:

and

Don't miss the styling headtube lug drillings on the second of these two frames.
Also loving the pseudo-Flying Gate with a bridge added between the seat tub e and vertical tube:

Gotta ask, Norris, just how sturdy is that setup?
