My Best Mountain Bike Find Ever

[HotRodRob]

Just while I have been searching for a specific kind of rim for my Klunker, I came across this yesterday about an hour before going in on night shift. Seems like your run of the mill mountain bike but ALAS, the rims I have been looking for that seemed out of reach price wise. A late 90's Norco(Canadian brand) with THE rims. I'll let the pics tell you what I've been on the lookout for.

The Sansin hubs may go up for sale if anyone is interested. Not sure what they are worth so shoot me a number if your interested.

Should of shot me a pm asking if I had any of those rims. I always have those laying around, I got rid of all my spart stuff recently to cram other stuff in for winter but I always have access to parts in my secret location. lol. I never showed interest in those However these are what I really like, the hub and rim make a nice look with white walls or most tires, I found a pair with a damaged rim and though awww damn just when I found some. for free that is, I wont pay for stuff here lol. next day I found a random wheel in garbage and it was what I needed, perfect match. Keep me in mind when you need parts though lol

Rim in question.

Just did a little research on the hubs and it appears as far as date coding the hubs goes , assuming they put same year hubs on the same year bike, its an 87'.

In the past months I've gotten 2 MTBs with Araya rims and one bike with just a rear cassette Araya rim, they are nice. I am currently using 2 good ones on a project, but I have 1 set that has busted spokes and seized hubs, haven't been sure what to do with them.

They are nice though.
