This is my 1999 dh team.

i hope no one has something older than this

even then, i talked to one of the guys who is in charge of norco; i asked his if i should replace this frame with how old it is. he said these frames last forever especially compared to other frames made these days. he sees people ripping down whistler on 10 year old frames all the time without a crack anywhere. i was still encouraged to buy a new frame though only from peer pressure, so i got a mongoose ec-d. i only got it because it is what my shop carries and it's the best bang for the buck. if i could have gotten any fame, it would have been a new norco. it's so sad to say goodbye to the norco family. i never even got to go to a VPS festJail

I thought i had the oldest, but alas a 99 Razz


Monocoque FTW!!!


Edit: I just had a stupid idea, What if we tried to get a VPS bike one from every year, Oldest we can find on pinkbike through to 08/09, and make some sort of timeline? To see just how much Norco has progressed in 9-10 years?

Well i finished The timeline, A little Cheesy and Crappy seeing as i used paint to make a fast one, If someone was to do a proper photoshop it would greatly enhance the message.
