Brilliant and i love it

 This is a LARGE 19". It really feels great. I'm 6'3" but prefer riding this size (as apposed to a 20 or 21) since it gives me room to be flexible.

 thanks man i might buy one in large also so i wanted to know what yours was because i think your bike is sick

 The exact one I have is from 2005, Norco Torrent. I got it as a bit of an impulse buy (and the fact that I stumbled across the frame in some small bike shop in canada on pinkbike) but I have no regrets.

Obviously that's a bit of a clique thing. Now-adays you can get much lighter frames and forks because of the technology advances obviously.

However, a heavier frame is much easier to descend with. Back end is SUPER stiff. Climbing is heavy but zero pedal flexing which feels great.

 nice man sounds sick and looks strong as hell

 Cheers man. I peaked at some of your photos and it looks like you've gotten to use quite a lot of different full sized bikes. Out of all those which one did you think seem to hold up, in terms of, just throw the bike in the truck without needed to check all the pivots, etc?
