I have a 2015 norcom and can't say I am too happy either after 2 fittings. D6 was a way better bike IMHO.
get a different frame.

N=1 here, and full disclosure, I work as a mechanic/fitter at a Fuji dealer.

I've had my 2017 Norcom 1.1 since May, and I love it. I bought it as a frameset after getting my fit coordinates figured out on an Exit bike. I went with a full Shimano drivetrain - Ultegra Di2 with an Ultegra crankset and Stages left crankarm. I used a Shimano BB86 pressfit BB in my frame and have had no issues. I also built my own wheels with DT Swiss hubs, and am using the Prfile Design T3+ Carbon aerobars on a PD Prosvet basebar.

Having said all that, in your situation I would upgrade both the BB and the crankset. I am not terribly impressed with the Oval 520 cranks. Any crankset that employs the opposing pinchbolt design for attaching the non-drive arm would get my vote. Honestly, I'd look into saving up to make the switch to a Shimano groupset eventually. I'd probably also switch out the wheels - the Ovals are OK, but they are heavy.

I don't know as much about the 2014 frame, but the bike was designed to have a lot of front-end adjustability - relative to other superbikes - for fitting purposes. Perhaps your fit is a factor?

I race duathlons and like it.

Sir, Thank you for your answer. I dont want to change to shimano hardware cause it will be expensive switch. Most 2017 PRO's has it.

Which budget crank and bottom bracket (bb86 pressfit) or just bearings you sugest to apply? I have heard SRAM make poor cranks and Rotor and FSA make the best..
Maybe I will look for 2nd hand crank.

Thank you.

Regards, Alec

If you really want to switch out the crank and aren't getting a power meter, then Shimano 105 or Ultegra, whichever one fits your budget. No need to look further than that.

Experts,

I deeply hope that my Fuji problem -lack of power on high speeds coming from the crank..I would like to swap my crappy crankset (from oval 520) to one of these:
- sram red 22 -172/53
- rotor flow mas -170/crappy 52
- ultegra fc-6800 -170/53. Should work with fd sram rival?

And bottom bracket bearings. Which brg's you reccomend currently as the best for tri racing? (except ceramic brg's). I've heard NTN brand has the best.

Which of these cranks (with bb brg's) you suggest to apply?
Thank you for constructive feedback.

Regads,
Alec

In all honesty, I don't think you'll get the expected return that you're hoping from a new crank. Take the chain off and spin the crank, if there is no resistance from bearing binding you're good to go. If the crank is too long/short that it is impacting your ability to ride in a proper position, get a new crank. If you want a power meter to train and get faster, get a new crank. If you are having significant binding from the BB bearings, get new bearings.
