Norco Rampage

[dirttorpedo]

Hey all, just picked this up for a sinfully cheap price. Fork is completely dead which is a bummer but I know nothing about this model and don’t normally pursue Norco brand bikes as I associate them with low end department store type bikes. In saying that this frame has Ritchey drop outs, made from Tange Ultimate Ultrastrong tubing has LX M560 cantilever brakes and hubs, Mavix 231 wheels with DT Swiss spokes. I do not know what the fork is Im sure someone here can enlighten me and hopefully tell me it can be rebuilt with ease. Grip shift 3x8 works very well though cables are trash. XT M730 derailleurs front and rear and some awesome Brodie brake boosters to top it off. Seat post is unkown and stuck fairly deep into the seat tube so challenge accepted there. Was hoping the Bontrager bar was titanium but have my doubts.View attachment 866051View attachment 866052View attachment 866053View attachment 866054View attachment 866055View attachment 866056View attachment 866057View attachment 866058View attachment 866059

I knew one of the guys in Norco product development back when these were designed. These were good bikes, but we turned our noses up at them because Norco was known for making affordable bikes that copied "better" brands and they were made in Taiwain when the better bikes came from Japan or Europe. I owned a purple one that was too small for me and loved the ride. Searched for one in my size for a number of years afterwards because I liked it so much. Enjoy.
