I found an old 20" Norco uni in the dump,All it needs is a new tire /tube/seat ,It looks old ?? the bearing holders are hex nut style really nice ,it looks like you could put a 2.5 tire on it no problem,heres a pic ,has anyone seem one of these ?
good find,i have a frame just like that.its has the weird “open” but still “lolly pop” bearing holders.
the frame will break just above the bearing holders right where they are welded in,enjoy it while it lasts…
they break just above that straight line.
I have one of these also. It’s the old Concord fork. I had a Duro 24 X 3 in it. It didn’t have much side clearance but it worked. And it is HEAVY.
my camera is crap,sorry.
it looks the spiting image of a frame i saw a while back, and you can indeed put a monty 2.5 tyre in it., we put my wheelset in the frame just to see, i had a suzue hub back then and it fitted, i don’t know if the profile hub would fit.
you might as well stick a trials wheelset in it and run it till it breaks,
I dont think I’ll be riding it ,I’m gonna hang it up on the wall in the shop
Your camera and photographic skills are both excellent and very much appreciated. Pictures always help alot with descriptions of technical difficulties and little treasures like the one you just uncovered. Thank you for taking the time to photograph your discovery and posting it.
Re: NORCO 20" found in trash
I bought one of those (in red) used 10 years ago for $35 Canadian. I taught
myself, my two sons and at least one other club member on it. I sold it last
year to that club member who still rides it (upgraded seat, post, seat post
clam and pedals of course). Only this month did the cottered cranks start to
sound like they are about to go. (Note: As soon as I learned to ride I
bought myself a new Semcycle Deluxe from Darren Bedford which I am still
riding today 10 years later and don’t plan to sell ever!)
