Not feeling the 1x10 after chainline issues so going 3X with XTR M970/2 RD and shifters. Just waiting for red anodized chainring bolts

3x9 drive train installed. I'm glad I made the switch from the 1x10. Calling this done... again

Dang that’s nice, 3x much better look imho. If you ever find another frame let me know. Would to build one of these up as well.

I always keep my eye out for Team Issue's but they are a rare breed. If I see a local listing in BC, I'll forward it your way

Seem's to me that Kona Hot's and Hei Hei's pop up for sale more often than Norco Team hardtails. I talked to a guy at Norco and he said production numbers back in the 90's were super low (in the double digits low some years)

I'm lucky to own both and Reynolds 853 & Ritchey WCS tubed frame and this 853 has seen its final days in this form and will donating a bunch of parts to the 1996 Team frame project I have going in the other forum

Before youseguyz, i didn't even know they were out there... now my eyes are peeled for any that come up for sale here in the east. Somebody has started a Norco obsession

I was riding the Traboulay PoCo Trail facing the Pitt River. Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, Golden Ears Provincial Park are in the background
