Hey I'm looking to get my new bike soon. I'm into freeriding and urban, and I'm looking for a bike that can take as much abuse as possible. Unfortunately I don't got much to spend. What are your opinions on the Norco Sasquatch? Can it take the abusse of an intermediate rider.

What do you think of the Z.1 Wedge that comes on it? I've heard good and bad things about it. I only weigh 120 pounds so I think it would hold up alright. Right?

Any thing that I should try to upgrade when I buy it?

All opinions are greatly appreciated!

By what I see on the web site the Sasquatch is pretty tough looking, how much does it cost?
I have always been a believer in build from scratch, the last complete bike I bought was back in '89. Then you don't worry about upgrades, because the parts are right to begin with!
There's a bizillion ways to build a bike and if you're going for durability, you have even more options. Look at bmx parts when possible because they're usually cheaper and stronger (read: HEAVIER)
