First off a big hi there to all! I've been lurking in this area, drooling over the great rides that other have put together, and now is my turn to step in to this addiction (maybe). I picked this bike up for $50, and to say that I'm tickled pink with my score is an understatement. This bike is in MINT damn near new condition. The brake hoods have zero oxidization on them, and the tires are void of any cracks. This bike has spent the past 20 yrs in a cool dry basement, just the PERFECT conditions for storing bikes!!


By the numbers:

Norco Monterey 1985
57cm c/c (my boys are resting (pinched) right on the top tube )
DiaCompe brakes and levers
SR Stem 110cm
Suntour A/R deraillers
KKT Pro Vic II pedals (nice!!!)
no name alloy hubs, with 36 hole Araya hoops
A decent Sakae alloy bar
The frame is a Tange 5 PG Tube: what ever that is, and look like stamped (good ones though), semi vert drop outs.

As it stands, it could be used as a beater, store bike. I have this allergy to bike locks, and this one I could leave locked but with no worries.

But I would turn this into my first fixie in a heart beat if the frame set is worth building up.
Should I, or should'nt I? That is the question!!!
