What Norco is this?
I recently picked up a norco frame for a resto project. Can someone help me identify what model it may be? What year??
It's Norco, road bike, 2 chainrings, shimano rsx A416 shifters, 105 front derailleur, rd-a416 rear derailleur. Was originally blue/yellow colour . I picked it from a kid who painted all over it... this will be my next project. Anywhere specific to look for serial number or any identifying marks? Nothing at the bottom of bottom bracket. Has a mount on frame for front derailleur

No idea really, other than welded aluminum and those STI shifters date it mid-to-late 90s to me.

After removing some paint, there is sign "Flyte" on the top tube. Google is not really helpful. Based on some parts, I think the year for the bike is around 99/00

Are there any stolen bike registry / huffer's hotline cross-reference databases out there?

We are all getting a bit sidetracked here...
This bike was not stolen, most likely thrown out, and some kids picked it up. Is anyone familiar with a Norco road bike, from around 99/00 era, that has a "Flyte" in its model range??
