I would like to own the best perfect all mountain bike in the world, LOL.

First of all, I would like to get the complete bike (i.e. Item 1), and then choose and get some top-notch components, fork, rear shock, etc., and then do the swaps, and then I can sell all the stuff I don't need and want. Sadly, In HONG KONG, NORCO bikes must be purchased as complete bikes, Frames only are NOT available for some reason, so I have to go for it that way.

Well, most of my mountain biking buddies recommend NORCO, and I have tried to ride on them lately, I just love it.

I just don't want to go for any carbon or titanium frame for some reason, alloy will do nicely for me. The list is shown below. Could someone please have a look for me to see if it is okay? Discuss it! Talk about it! I just need your professional suggestions and advice. Thanks.

I don't have any experience with norcos so I'm not sure but most of my all mountain buddies swear by Santa Cruz nomads.

Also one of my buddies has a nuke proof mega which he loves.he sold his orange alpine and he says it's the best thing he's ever done lol.

Well I have bad news for you, you refuse to get carbon for no logical reason and therefore you will never own the best AM bike in the world.

If you come to your senses, get the Range Carbon LE and you'll pretty much have the best bike possible out of the box. Throw on some enve wheels, brakes of your choice, saddle of your choice, tires of your choice, and boom you're done.
