Hi, I recently picked up this Norman Invader, cleaned, lubed and tuned it, could use some cable housing. The Brooks saddle is pretty dried out, tried soaking it in boot oil for a week, still stiff and maybe brittle. I am curious as to the age of the bike, I researched and concluded that is pre 1960 due to the hub.
The bike has a Hercules hub "A TYPE 8". It has a Sturmey Archer shifter. The bars are Stratalite Maes, brakes are Weinmann type 730 ft, 600 r, rims are Weinmann aluminum. serial #R or B 98449.
Any insight into the bike would be great, the value would be nice to know but I am more interested in the year and if some stuff is upgraded like the wheels.
Thanks, Glen
