Thanks guy's, I know step through frames don't do so well in the voting, but building a cool ride with my daughter is the most important thing for this build off. Pleased with how it's coming together

Here in Eastern Poland almost all older bikes you see are step through - because once you have to carry stuff to and from the market or field, then swinging your leg over often becomes impossible.

It's fathers day here in Australia, so we spent the day polishing and painting all the parts, then assembling the Norman.

Set up the shifter today. And made the stand fit. Calling this one done and finished. The 26" tyre swap makes it much more user friendly around our gravel roads and riding trails.

Nice update mate. Top work on the fade too. Your daughter must be wrapped.

Ah, it is so good to see a refreshed piece of work so far from it's hometown of Ashford!
