Nice.

I'll have my B2 later this week, but won't have the opportunity to get it dirty till next week, but I think Lysterfield will be the trails of choice for it's christening.

Nice looking new Norco, like their new DH bike.

Nice,


What size did you guys get and how tall are you?

 

[angrybadger]

It's a medium and I'm 5'10". The fit is spot on for me.

Enjoy the ride Crimson. As of this week the top end of Lysti is open and looking very nice.

pah! another wheels size, it'll never catch on

and what's that frame made of anyway, aluminium? pah! steel is what you want
and what's that shock/piston thing in the middle? some kind of'suspension', wow, does it make brrap brrap noises? rear suspension? pah, never catch on
and whats with the funny looking fork? and the odd shape head tube? and what the hell are those things on the wheels?!?! disc brakes?!?!!? come on, as if you need them, and what about those bars, they are bent and far too wide, it's marketing gone mad i tells ya

never catch on ;-)


merry christmas

Never much liked Norco as a brand (no reason).

But your bike has very aesthetically pleasing lines, it looks very 'racy' and fun.

I like it a lot. It's tough for me to give a proper report/comparison because I've not spent much time on other modern duallies and I'm biased because it cost a lot of coin (for me). Have upgraded the brakes/shifters to XT, installed a Reverb dropper, and now running flats/5-10's. I'm happy with the rest and will upgrade if/when bits wear out.
Hard to tell what influence the wheel size has.. when I'm riding a 29er, the wheels feel big and keep feeling pretty big all the time (not in a bad way, they just feel big), on the 650b I stopped noticing the size after a few minutes. Going back to a 26, the wheels feel/look smaller, but again only for a minute or two.
Except for the Avid brakes, I can't really fault it. If it got nicked today, I'd order the same bike again tomorrow.
