The Norco 853 – Resurrected from the past.
The best kept secret at Norco for the past year has been the 853 Team Re-Issue. This is a limited release of one of the most classic frames Norco has ever made. The 853 gets its inspiration from the mid 90s with an update for 2010. Classic styling plus a lengthened toptube, slackened head angle, disk tabs and an eccentric BB make this the best classic ride available.
The new 853 is Candy Red and offers a super comfortable ride that only high quality steel provides. Weighing in at 4.8lbs, the frame is also light, nimble and durable. Whether you are looking for a winter trail bike, an all season XC ride or a singlespeed powerhouse have a close look at the new 853, it could be your next bike.

Hello,
That 853 Team Re-Issue with eccentric BB looks very intersting… Will it be available in 2010? Do you have any details on its geometry, travel, sizes, etc. Thanks.

The Team 853 Re-Issue is currently available in sizes XS-XL and is designed to utilize a 100mm fork.

Sounds good!
What’s the geometry for Medium sized frame, and how much does it cost (frame only, or complete bike)? Thanks.

I am considering replacing my aluminum frame for my Norco Nitro with a Norco 853 Reynolds Steel frame. What are the pros and con of this move? What woudl eb the weight difference? Would all components fropm my aluminum frame fit on the 853 (ex. fork). Tx Daniel
