my 08 norco 125 has an "assembled in canada" sticker on the frame. you cant really put those there unless its true, if it isnt...well...ya
there was a whole thing about on tv the other day...even if they package something in canada they can put a product of canada sticker on it or made in canada...so norco probably just repackages them in canada...plus think about it the only thing that's actually norco is the frame..the other 90% of the bike is probably chinese or something
true, just you'd think since the frames are made in house, theyd asseble them here. ud think it would be pointless to ship frames to asia, have them built up, then sent back here... i dunno. o well...
no but i think they recently stopped making frames in canada anymore

ya, but i heard they said if they didnt, they would have had to close up shop, since everyone else was switching and they wouldnt be able to afford to stay in the game. Norco probably had the same reason, but i was hoping they would be the guys that stuck around. just like devinci still built and paint frames in house. assembled there too arent they?

Since everyone posting stuff like this; ford owns jaguar, Volvo, land rover, and mazda..I'm sure they own a few more, but that's all I got off the top of my head..
