Hey guys. Since I bought a new MTB last year (2005 Kona Dawg ), my older bike (1997 Norco Team Issue hardtail) seems to be seeing less and less action. Am not quite ready to part with it just yet, but am wondering what the quality of these "old school" bikes are like compared to the bikes of nowadays? My Norco has a Reynolds 853 frame (steel?) and from what I can tell these frames don't seem to be around much anymore? Not sure why because the thing feels so strong and LIGHT! When I put the Dawg in the boot of the car I feel like I am going to get a damn hernia . Mind you having dual suspension is much more "comfortable" (now that I am getting on in years! ). Anyways interested in people's opinions of old school v. new.
