Norco VPS-1 Old school Sold

[dcrofty]

Item: Norco VPS-1 Very Old. Very Green.
Location: Shire Sydney.
Item Condition: Its had a pretty tough life. Frame not bad, fork (RST sigma) pretty good. Rear shock seems OK, drivetrain thrashed. All still ridable however. I'll get some better pics in the next few days.
Reason for selling: Too many bikes. Was thinking about restoring it but don't really have the time or cash.
Price and price conditions:Few hundred? Really don't know what to ask for this, if there is some retro value for a part then make an offer, otherwise if I get desperate I could probably just be paid in beer, just want it to go to a good home really.
Extra Info:If you are a young kid saving pennies and looking for your first DH bike then I don't really want to sell this to you, wouldn't be fair. More a restoration project than a first bike.
Pictures: Got a couple. More to follow, will get a parts list up too

[dcrofty]

Hmm. Not sure. What parts have you got?

Otherwise I think a couple of hundred would get you a bike.

Probably worth mentioning those linkages not only upped the travel, but also made the head angle and BB height heaps better.

 

[dcrofty]

Cool. thanks.

I did not know that.
