hi all
here's the latest aquisition for me. has the u-brake and an interesting one piece stem and handlebar arrangement. right now it's a 6 speed. hoping i can upgrade to 7 speed. this bike is very tired and needs some love. what do you think? am i wasting time and money?

thanks
roy

cool - reminds me of a mid 80's Mongoose or Muddy Fox Courier

are the chainrings steel or aluminium? that would give a hint of the original budget of the bike.

I wouldnt go mad on it but its different and no reason why it cant be made into something fun.

Obviously better than a Raleigh Cobra then?

I would say it's above my raleigh cobra as it's got a few more gears and it looks generally more expensive but the brakes look strangely similar.

Norco is still going today I think and make good bikes so I would say yes it's definatly worth doing and it is different
