I have a 4 Hun - same frame as 125. It's very nice. There have been a few posts on the 125 here. Most positive. For mine, I think the 125 is a good bike for the money and better specified than many. Get one.

i got one. i like it but the back rim isnt up to it. get thelarge one. i got the small and its too small for me and im pretty short.

With Smiddy. Mine's the "large" one - but it actually has a "M" sticker on the top tube. I'm pushing 5'10" and it feels perfect. Maybe look at small if you're under 5'8" or want a dedicated "flick" unit. BTW, the 604 has very similar dimensions to the small 125. So if you see one of those and it feels too small (short), large is the go. TT length is the only difference in sizes - and WB of course.

yeah well i just got my 05 mongoose fireball stolen so i need a new bike, wat are the 125's like on the back wheel cause i love to manual and wheelie, i could wheelie around 500m on the fireball and im hopin the 125 has the same sorta balance point do u know? oh yeah the guy at the bikes shop thinks they mite be sold out cause the 06 comes out in a few months, any idea wat the stats are and the colour, thanks

the 125 has the shortest back end ever. if you have the wheel full forward in the dropouts it will be easy to lift but unstable. i got mine about mid dropout and it is pretty good for manuals.

Have you been on their website? You really should check it since all the answers are there - and they will be able to point you to where the stock is - they did sell well, but maybe a few left.

Or hunt down some posts by "Sutek" and send him a PM - he's the rep for Norco and will find you a bike quick smart.

Chainstay is 16", colour is orange. Search on "post you ride" for a look at one...

Move quick mate - you might find a deal out there. Good luck.
