Newbie here with norco 07' sasquatch

[mtopxsecret6]

Hello everyone, i tried looking for a newbie post here section.. but didnt seem to see it, so thought this would proly be a good start. Well, many moons ago i had a mogoose mountain bike, didnt have any sorts of suspension or trick componetry.. but it was the foot in the door into mountain bikes.. bad sadly.. i swayed towards cars and the bike dissapereed pretty quickly.. anyways.. i have now since rekindled the mountain bike excitment, by buying myself a new 07' model norco sasquatch.. it seems these days that there is specific models for specific jobs.. i just wanted a tough all rounder.. and i think this is a good starting platform. Anyway.. guess you guys want to see pics.. not words.. lol. oh and a pick of how dirty i got that night!! haha.

Thank god you've given up on cars, a bike is so much more beneficial.

cant remember having as much fun as i do with the boys on the bike.
oh and it might be cheaper than cars but trust me it wont be by much.i actually sold a car to buy my next bike and make it all bling bling.
nice bike too mate.young bloke next door has one and it takes a flogging and is true as the day he got it.

Great choice of bike to get back into the sport! It will last a long time.



Is that bike overly large or are you just a short ass? :p Seriously though, it looks huge!! Have fun on it buddy!

[mtopxsecret6]

Yeah thats what i thought too when i sw the picture.. but.. when im on it.. it seems good.. when i got it sized to me at the shop.. the guys said its a little to big in length.. but i moved the seat back further and raised the seat up more.. the cockpit felt too small to start with.. i am a short arse.. so guess makes it look enormous next to me.. but.. riding it.. doesnt feel like a huge tug boat at all.. very awesome to ride indeed!

Cheers
