nice tim, so very sweet good buy
umm it comes in at 16kg's..... no it's not the lightest bike, but it is super stiff....... Yes it's justa swinger 4 way.... i wouldent recomend them for this type of riding, unless you have someone to give you new ones or fix them, since i have had the bike, the shock has spent more time out of the bike getting fixed than on it. I'm going to get a coil swinger when they make them with that eye to eye and stroke length..... you cant have a Yeti any other colour in my opinion. As for price i got it complete second hand for $3500 which is a hell of alot cheaper than a new frame would cost alone. I have changed a few bit's and spent some money on it. Put the mini's on instead of hayes, upgraded to 04 shermans, put on the MRP instead of a tru-vative, and a different wheelset.
Tim
I love it Tim. As much as i like camo shermans, that'd look better with black ones IMO. Looks like someones going to be getting even more respect points when riding!

that is pretty noice! btw put some saint cranks on it :D . so nice. sooooo nice. 3500 2nd hand wholey crap that is more than i have paid for my norco dh team. hahah crazy.

nothin on my dj but i guess it goes ok
sent you a P.M Benny... Mungus how come you did'nt come up to Robbies for the 4x?? You'll have to come up our way for a jump. I'm acctually going to get a polished Thompson post for it and some polished holzerfellers going for the whole green and polished look, hence the Camo Shermans.. Some silver DeeMax would be pretty cool as well, but i'd bust um up too quick.

Hahaha. You think just because you pay alot for a frame it's going to be SOOO much better than a mass-produced cheaper bike?
Just because it has a high price tag, it doesn't mean the geo/angles are going to be any better.
Jackass.
What's it ride like with just one 14" wheel?
*Eye's down*
I'm sorry.

maybe its because Norco's ride like shit in alot of peoples opinions
Jackass.
It's worth every penny if you ask me..... i dunno about a new one though.... if i had the cash i would buy one but if i did'nt, there are much better value bikes out there. But $3500 isnt very much, most bikes in this bracket like a Tazer or Heckler second hand are around the same price.

if say all of the DH range of norco's were shit....from people riding them, then people would assume that the rest of the range is shit

nice rig mate... good to see something a little different out there for a change.
Mr Rowney came in with a 575 and an AS-R frame yesterday - damn they are well made, you really have to check one of these things out in the flesh to fully appreciate them. grr now i want one.... ok maybe more than one... :lol: but yeah, you gotta go team colours, it doesn't really work with anything else.
two thumbs up

If say, someone told you ALL of the norco DH range was shit, and you ASSumed that meant every norco bike was shit, then, you would be quite braindead.
If you want to reply to me, go right ahead and PM me, instead wasting space.
By the way, nice bike Tim, too bad norco don't make a 4x as good as that ;)
Hey Dicky,
yeah i would love a 575...but Yeti stuffed up again not offering it in Turquoise.... Afon, Norco's are good value but thats about it, there great to get people into the sport IMO..... If you have ridden some of the top of the line bikes you can tell the difference. Not always do you get what you pay for .. But most of the time you do. This frame definately has wank value added onto it's price tag, there is no doubting that however. But people have paid it and i'm pretty sure all 75 production frames have been sold. Each is numbered out of 100, so i guess the other 25 went as sponsered riders bikes i dont know?? Maybe the price will come down if they decide to do full production next year.
