VANCOUVER VINTAGE BICYCLE SWAP MEET SEPT. 2023

[90's Ninja]

i think a buddy of mine has a norco team issue. might have sold it. not sure.
want me to ask about it for you? he could possibly bring it to the swap.

If it's yellow and 18.5" then yes! I know I'm being particularly but that's what I've been on the hunt for. Thanks!

PS - it would be cool to put a face to the names of some local RetroBike guy's. Do you guys ever do a meetup at Steamworks brewery after or have a secret hand signal to flash at the show? ;-)

norco is an 18.5" but isn't yellow. you could paint it.

come find me at the swap. i will be against the back fence. titanium colour tacoma with black canopy.
i will introduce you to the gang. of course this invite is to any and all retrobikers that come.

Great swap meet today. Some excellent deals and an overall good turnout and awesome group of people. Thanks to @Retro_Roy for introducing me to the local RetroBike crew. No luck finding a yellow Norco Team 853 BUT I picked up a 1993 Rocky Mountain Blizzard w Tange Strut fork, TWO Norco Rampage frames w/ Tange Ultimate Prestige tubing + some Rocky Mtn and Norco catalogues. Will upload Norco catalogues to archive soon

Here's a couple more pic's, I bought less than usual this time out but left with some treasures: signed Paul Brodie book, Ringle Ti Skewers for $10 (not joking), they cleaned up very nice and a couple other nice small items

As with last year the highlight was hanging out with these amazing folks
