ur f*cking kidding right...

tsaktop (Nov 26, 2010 at 13:55)

why norco is allways steps behind? only little tips are on point. the whole idea doesnt follow the real deal

c-bernier (Nov 26, 2010 at 14:00)

Plus all bikes are starting to look the same,theres no variety.

fantaman (Nov 26, 2010 at 14:13)

because these day's it's hard to invent a new frame design that will not look the same

c-bernier (Nov 26, 2010 at 14:14)

I personally really liked norcos linkage design before.

Schism (Nov 26, 2010 at 22:23)

steps behind? its got built in bumpers and seat clamp, ahead of most bikes being released right now. i think it looks good, norcos are getting nicer and nicer.

tsaktop (Nov 27, 2010 at 2:49)

thts what i mean ok tapered headtube bumpers front and seat clamp..thats the details= u cant say wow now thats a breathtaking design " with mount bumpers dude yeeeaH" and that triangle frame design which have seen so many alikes, brands have been there and trying to move on... norco tries that old and manytimesseen frame. its not a pass by me

Schism (Nov 27, 2010 at 3:06)

wow, i dont know how the company is going to survive without your "pass". maybe they should make the frame pretzel shaped just to make you happy.

tsaktop (Nov 27, 2010 at 5:21)

i am the possible buyer dude...((( and i have an aesthetic and design opinion that stands more than yours)))

Schism (Nov 27, 2010 at 12:58)

you are *a possible buyer. i dont know how theyll get on without that one sale though... and that second part doesnt make sense, read it again.

looks like a kona

fantaman (Nov 29, 2010 at 0:08)

are you f*cking blind you dumbass

norcalassassin (Nov 29, 2010 at 14:19)

yea and your name is fantaman so clearly im blind...

fantaman (Nov 29, 2010 at 14:26)

that doesn't matter,your'e comment of saying that norco looks like a kona is not even close

norcalassassin (Nov 29, 2010 at 15:26)

if you have seen the bikes in the cycling indsutry over the years, the old kona stinkys had this design a 4 bar horst link sooo, you dont know what you are talking about.

Schism (Nov 29, 2010 at 16:17)

konas are faux bar dumbass

norcalassassin (Nov 29, 2010 at 17:35)

its four bar not faux, and yea i take it back they arent a horst-link but still

Schism (Nov 29, 2010 at 17:44)

no, four bar is a few different linkages, including horst, lawwil, vpp, and faux bar (which kona uses).

norcalassassin (Nov 29, 2010 at 18:21)

you could have said that in the first place then, rather than calling me a dumbass...

Schism (Nov 29, 2010 at 20:46)

you could have not said it was horst link if you didnt want to get called a dumbass.

norcalassassin (Nov 29, 2010 at 21:05)

this isnt even worth my time...

tstep3 (Nov 30, 2010 at 19:51)

Schism (Nov 29, 2010 at 17:51)

well it cant look too radically different when theyre using the same linkage patent can they?

knightridersix04 (Nov 26, 2010 at 23:55)

not a norco unless they decided after like 13 years to not use an fsr based linkage system anymore

knightridersix04 (Nov 26, 2010 at 23:57)

never mind, the pivot is behind the derailleur cable
