Big Thanks to @90's Ninja for providing some more Norco catalogs to the Archive! Great stuff, this gets now more and more complete. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/archive/categories/norco.391/

I personally find that the Speed Dial helps to adjust the levers to some extent do support both, cantilever and v-brakes. At least running "L" levers orginally for V-brakes with Canti does work for me OK. But here is a bit of history and more information on the Avid levers...

Nice wheels, I do like Onyx too. The first listing i've found was in a buyers guide for the season 2000. Showing the page for the Whizz-Wheels wheelsets, just because there was one page listing DT-Hügi and DT-Swiss wheels at the same page. The hubs alone had been covered in this buyers guide...

a bit more precisely, yours has an Shimano LX 550, available from 1990 to 1992 maybe it's a model called Kings Canyon, here in a dutch brochure from 1992 the scan is from https://www.peugeotshow.com/1992nl.html there is another good webpage with a lot of scans...

not the same, but very likely from same series and model year, Peugeot Team Pro from 1991

Hi guys, we do have this thread already with great examples https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/when-pedals-attack.453633/#post-3324031 Still posting my VP bat wingzs once more

the Italian brand Montana seem to be still alive, founded in 1968 https://www.montanabike.com/ Not sure if this is still the same as the one producing the rather cheap and rubbish bikes with Montana decals and Italian Flag head badge. Just like this one...

hi, just wondering, where has your father bought the bike locally? In Germany there was for a while a brand called Montana from a bike shop in Bavaria. Below an ad for a Titanal model from 1993 I found also once a Montube Bike frame, labled Montana Looking at the colors at the head badge, an...

very clean! just wanted to share a small info from a German bicycle magazine

I do like the idea too, Convercycle is the brand. Just in case others are interested too https://www.convercycle.com/en/

Not sure if this Ad, according to the info I do have from 1984 was shown here already If yes, please apologize, I haven't checked the 200+ pages here.

is this because of the Martini paint job and NTH logos, or is there something else different to the other several models from ~1995-97 with that frame design? But indeed Martin racing and celeste color in conjunction with the Wildgripper and nice FRM wheel set etc. is a great combination.

Hi, I'm happy to provide an update here. I've bought recently a few more old bike magazines, I haven't had before. In the Dec. 1995 issue of the German MountainBike Magazine I came across a nice article, helping to shed some more light on the mysterious TNT rear derailleur. Unfortunately the...

Do you mean this cracy frame shown e.g. at Eurobike show 1994 called Billy B? I think this was indeed never done in serial production, while there was at least a batch of Suzi Q frames produced. But if you look a the picture you may understand the reason why. Anyway, looking forward to see...
