Hey guys this is my new Norco Ryde, thought it was about time I posted my bike up.
So far I've turned it SS and removed the front break, changing the rear to a right handed lever. I am using it for mainly Dj and the occaisional street ride.

To come is a SS hub probably a Tuffneck or NS laced to either and MTX or Da Bomb racing, not sure which is is better suited to my riding. I'm open too suggestions.

Hey man, um my mate just got the same bike a couple of weeks back, just wondering, do you find that the bike seems pretty heavy when you ride it?and almost unpleasent unless upgrades eg; forks.

Nar not all, sure its no feather but its not to pigish. As for the ride I love it, I bought the small so it feels really manouverable and I can flick it round easy.

thats really nice for a pretty much stock bike, i would rather that over a stp an day! just lower or get new forks to 80 and slam that seat. norco is really steping it up in 08!!

Mmm I had the seat slammed but after a while of sitting on the moving wheel it seemed like the right decision to put it up a tad.
