Got an older norco wolverine off Kijiji a bit ago to build up for my own. I only had a fat bike and road bike, which I usually ride. The norco was a 2008. All original and worn.
Stripped it fully and painted the fork and frame. I’m a red seal automotive painter so looks like it came from the factory. Fork is a straight black and frame is red metallic with black underside of the downtube. Painted the crank arms as well since they were almost fully polished.
Built it up as much as I could (which wasn’t very far). Put the fork back in and repacked all the bearings and stuff.
Took it to Francis at Long Alley bikes and he built it up for me. He did an awesome job. Just picked it up today. Cut and applied the decals myself.
Only original parts are the fork, frame, crank arms, saddle and front chain rings as well as wheels and tires.
Specs are:
Evo Grips
Evo pedals
780mm Orbea bar
Converted to 1x10 deore drivetrain
Avid bb5 brakes
Truvative ruktion crankset
Cannondale C4 seatpost
Easton vice stem
