Rescued from Recycling: Old Norco Eurosport Tri-A
A buddy fished this out of the metal scrap and passed it along to me last night. In the dark.
I think I'm about 10 years too late. Such a shame.
Its an old 62cm Norco Eurosport Tri-A with the original Shimano 105 group more or less intact - pedals, crank arms, derailleurs, levers, callipers, rear wheel. The front wheel is not stock.
Really rusty & dirty but the handlebars and seat post both freed up OK so its got that going for it. Time to get out the Tremclad.
Also, luckily, its a frame size I could actually ride if I ever get off my Visp.

Just give it a little time and in the end it will be worth the investment

Investment so far has been the $20 Canadian (about $15 US) I gave the guy for the bike, two gear cables, the effort required to free up the seat post, and some elbow grease.
Ive already had enough fun to make it worthwhile.
