That is fuken mad. That would be one of the last 250's available in Aus. Good to see you are staying true to your colours. Norco all the way! Very nice color scheme. And good to see you got some animal edwans. Nice Nice Poppy.

Take the stem off the 250 and put it on the atomik to match the colour with the jeff lenosky straitlines,
(you could do the bars aswell if you wanted to), but they wouldn't be that great for DH.
Sweet rides by the way.

pretty gnarly. i reckon get the same pedals that are on your DH bike, ittl match. maybe a slim seat too? might top it off nicely.

IMO that colour is yellow and them green PC's dont suit. get some fluro yellow slim jims or oddessy's, thats what a mate of mine has done and looks a heap better. i would probably upgrade your wheels next or tyres, get that weight down abit ya know.

That is true, although I havnt seen the oddy pc's in yellow. I like the pc's as they dont tear the shins up and are light. I think if I get alot more green parts it would look good, I chose green as it was closer matched then say red or blue. I will upgrade rims/wheels when they are screwed or have to much cash to splash.

yer I agree with shred. I think bright or fluro colors would look good on that bike. The intense tyres look really good but they get ya thinking if they would last long or not. buy 'em and then give us a idea of how they are. Otherwise you could get kenda small block 8's which are already known good tyres.

Looks quite good. Only real thing that I can suggest is to cut the flanges off the grips, but that's personal preference I suppose. How do the K-Rads go in street sort of riding? They're pretty cheap and I really would like a set of street tyres to go along with my off-road ones too.

Hey mate, on the first page of this thread (which was posted sometime back in August) it said it would have to be one of the last 250's left in Aus. This got my hopes down when i read it. But luckily one of my LBS's had one in stock, and i'm now the proud owner of it. I payed 1300 for mine, what did you pay?? Also, was it fine with just the rear mech on, when you first got it?


PS. Im posting this at least 3 or 4 weeks late. Just remembered :)
