Balance... I really like the Auron fork... the ability to adjust both the high speed compression and the low speed independently is a great match for the rear shock... I own multiple Canfield bikes and this falls right in the middle of their line. Climbs like a shorter travel bike but descends like my Jedi. Feels bottomless when hitting the rough stuff. The Balance is my go to bike for just about anything.

Nimble 9... dropouts are slammed but still have ample clearance in the rear. Approximately 8mm on both sides. Took it out today.. did not notice any tire rubbing in the corners. Will also fit the Yelli Screamy the same way.

My two favorite things in the world.
Balance isn't a looker but is built up very nicely with nice components. 7.5. Would love to have a spin on one Drool

My new 2015 S-Works Enduro, just fitted some race maletts to it and kept the rest pretty much as is.

0/10 for the Spesh, 0/10 for the Norco. Too bad because they are both quite nice bikes.

Seems to me to be pretty selfish and self centred to look for a thread to have your bike rated, read the title where it pretty plainly states to rate the bike above yours, submit your bike hoping for a positive review, and think "Well rating the previous bike couldn't possibly apply to me".

Good call. 9/10 for the specialized

I spent the most time trying to figure out how to get the image in mine I forgot to rate. My bad.

Always have had a soft spot for Norco's. The shop I worked at back in the day used to carry them. 6/10 for now. Mainly due to the incomplete build. Looks like it will be a very nice bike when completed. The rear dropouts could have been dressed up a bit from factory but I'm guessing it makes for a nice stiff rear end. For an added suggestion, when you complete it, I'd suggest to post a pic of the drive side and maybe take it somewhere that shows the color for what it is. The background completely washes out the blue. Looks kind of anemic if you know what I mean. Give it a bit of contrast. I'm sure that blue really pops in person.
Cheers!

6/10 is fair. Funny you say you have a soft spot for Norco's because I demo'd a bunch of bikes trying to decide what do my build on (Xprezo, Specailized, Kona, Santa Cruz, etc) and the Norco performed just as good, if not better, for nowhere near as much. So I have a soft spot for them now.
