That's a tempting offer! I'd love to ride BC! I actually got the Norco frame in Australia, I worked as a mechanic in a bike shop there for a while. Although they did sell them here in the UK for a while too. Haven't seen any new ones for a few years though. The Team Edition is just the sweetest hardtail I've ever ridden, with the possible exception of a Litespeed I had a shot of. It's Reynolds 853 and feels just perfect to me, although that could just be because I've had it so long we're like an old married couple! Matt |
Options, the bike

I'm considering the Great Divide Route... so I would like 26"wheels - easiest tyre to get anywhere S&S couplers - for easy of transport around the place Front forks - say 100mm coil sprung Disk brakes - less hastle with mud, more stopping power Steel frame - less likely to be damaged.. chain stay lengths around 450mm ... pannier clearance Orlieb panniers - water proof + reliable... At the moment I have for consideration Thorn Ripio Thorn Ripio Frame & Mt Tura Fork Review - BikeRadar Gunnar Rock Tour Wilber Force: Gunnar Rock Tour and a rant. :innocent: What is the cost of a coat of paint? :rofl: Salsa Fargo2 Salsa Cycles | Bikes | Fargo 2 Frameset (yes it is for 29".. but fitting 26" to it would not be difficult. Surly ... maybe better building one myself? :hammer: ---------------- I have an old 1990's MTB - chain stay length 430mm, no suspension. I find that with luggage a bit flexable. It has been around Tasmania, south island of New Zealand and unnumbered MTB trips ... looking for the next bicycle. The other bicycle is a carbon framed roadie, nice for a days ride. |
