Bro I have a 09 Norco that I upgraded, its not a "great" bike but man the stuff it rode and how it came out gleeming after every ride, I just could never get rid of it
I hear ya, man. When you find a reliable bike like that that you're comfortable with, then it's a keeper. Doesn't matter what brand it is. If it's a good bike, it's a good bike
Aw man I had a sentimental attachment to my old Specialized Stumpjumper full sus, was such a great bike and I literally learned how to properly ride a trail bike with confidence and then suddenly after a few months I started growing and the foot clearance was literally so bad, at first I had no problems but before I sold it my front foot was touching the tyre on most corners, was so sad to sell it. I want it back to be totally honest
Yeah the foot clearance is already bad for me on this bike, and I'm not a very big guy. If I grow a lot more then it'll become ridiculous. But for right now I can deal with it. Other than that this bike is great. I plan to keep it for a long time.
