Norris mentions the Sun Manx TT as another method used, similar to the Shortwin in design, to achieve a short wheelbase. He may recall helping Nigel Land to identify a mystery frame with a Baines transfer last year, which is in fact a Manx TT. I have posted a couple of pics of the frame, and the relevant page from the 51 Sun Catalogue at http://ntlworld.photobox.co.uk/album/album_contact.html?c_album=1571123 . Nigel is now trying to find some Stallard dropouts for it, as the original ones had been removed for some strange reason (anyone have a spare pair?), and then it will be re-enamelled with the correct transfers. List members may also wish to remind themselves of another attempt to achieve a short wheelbase on my Elswick Hopper Avenger Convincable, which you can see at http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=103517 .
