Norco Team DH frame, 2002 model, $850 shipped

[S.]

I want to sell my 2002 model Norco VPS Team DH frame (you may have already guessed :P ), it includes frame (surprisingly), shock (Fox Vanilla RC, never had any problems with it), headset (Cane Creek, never given me any trouble either), rear hub (Hadley - this thing is awesome, retails for something like $400 on its own) and some cheapo generic seatpost and seatpost clamp (this is just to save you the inconvenience of having to find the right size post + clamp; they're not top end but they work fine).

The frame is in good condition mechanically, no cracks, bends etc. It comes with a black warranty swingarm (the originals were red) because the stock one was defective. All bearings have been replaced during its lifetime so far, the main ones came with the warranty swingarm and the rest were pressed out and replaced after a very muddy ride.

There is some paint damage, cosmetic only, in the form of small scratches, a few chips, and one spot on the front triangle where the paint was rubbed off when leaning against a trailer rail whilst driving (no rag = no paint :( ), see pics below for details of the damage.

Shock linkage, note paint missing from the corner of the seatstay, this is from leaning the bike against stuff.

Paint damage to front triangle, where it rubbed on the trailer. You can also see a small chip in the top left, presumably where a fork crown has hit it.

Shock and rest of non-driveside front triangle, there are some other small chips and scratches but nothing much.

Non-drive side stays, a few scratches here n there. There is some shoe-scuffing on the chainstay and a section where it's worn right through the paint on the bottom corner, about 2.5cm long, from either shoe scuffing or being leant against stuff

Underside of the chainstays. Not much going on here, a few scratches as always but nothing much. Foot not for sale :)

Hadley 12mm rear hub - dirty at the moment, sorry!

Naturally I will clean the bike up more if you're going to buy it, the reason it's so dirty in the pics is because it's still in use.

This frame retails for $2700 plus whatever for the seatpost and headset:
I'm asking $850, including shipping.

Shipping can be arranged in whatever way, COD or whatever, doesn't bother me.

PM me or email me at gravatomik@hotmail.com if you're interested.

Chainguide: I don't know, have a rough stab at it ;)

The Super is awesome... just as good as the Shiver in terms of plushness/smoothness, but the more limited turning circle is annoying.

What width is the hub? Will it fit a 1999 Craftworks DHR team issue or is it a 165mm bolt thru?
I will talk to my mate about ur frame 2morro.
How do u reckon it would run with a Rock Shox Psylo?

[S.]

I don't know what width the hub is, but I'm not selling it separate from the frame. There are 3 industry standard hub spacings too, 135mm, 150mm and 165mm.

I've seen one run with a Fox fork, so I imagine it could be run with a Psylo alright.

[shmity]

From what i can remember the 02 has the same hub spaceing as the 03, which is 150mm. And yes, quite a few people drop the bike into short travel mode and run it with 5 inch single crowns and rekon its a pretty sweet ride like that.

[S.]

$850 including shipping fellas.... come on, this is a steal! I have also touched up the paint a bit - it's not completely fixed but it's better.

[dazonic]

I reckon $850 is the bargain of the century. It looks like no one's got any money at the moment, haha. Someone will some day, keep ya head up!

[S.]

SOLD!
