I'm not super concerned about the service thing to be honest. I can do all the work myself and generally warranty stuff can be handled directly with a company if they're decent and understand that you might not be located near a dealer (i.e. so they send you the stuff directly). Maybe Norco isn't that way. I'll find out beforehand, regardless.
For the fork swap, I meant have the shop remove the fork, credit me with some amount of money, and order a new fork that they then install. I of course could just remove it myself, ebay it, and buy a new fork but it saves me the ebay step and they make money by probably selling me the new fork for more than I could get it online. Doesnt matter really in the end.
I'm sure I won't be any closer to deciding what bike to buy for a few months so I really should just step away from the bike websites and go ride/sleep more.
