Extremely Rare Norco Frame (North Shore VPS Team Downhill) waiting for your build up. This was the most heavily engineered frame possible for the genre. Super solid construction without sacrificing much in the weight department. These frames are as Frankenstein looking as anything i have ever seen. I planned on making this into my Dream downhill bike. Finances are dictating otherwise. This is likely the coolest looking frame I have ever seen, and for those who feel the same, here is your chance! Welds are so solid this bike may as well be one single piece of aluminum.the Team DH received the Vanilla RC and 7.5” travelThis is essentially a survivor from the peak early-North-Shore freeride/downhill era. The original complete bike had an 8-inch inverted Marzocchi Shiver, FOX Vanilla RC, Hayes hydraulics, Race Face Turbine DH crank, XTR derailleur and Hadley rear hub — an extremely expensive build in 2001.And the frame itself is wonderfully excessive: huge welds, massive pivots, adjustable leverage/travel, heavily reinforced monocoque sections, and a coil/oil shock. It’s exactly the sort of early-2000s engineering that vintage DH collectors like.
