When Mike Hopkins signed with Norco bicycles we were all left wondering what bike the Vancouver based company could muster up that would look good in the movies on on print...well, here's a high quality look at what the Norco team came up with, custom painting one of the sickest builds in the industry.

The word on the street is that this might be the paint adorning next year's Aurum...we can only hope.
Matching sponsor stickers are a must, Hopkins does it better than most.
Remember to click the photos to make them BIG.
Four pistons of brand new Saint stopping power will be used occasionally in case of emergency, but otherwise they just look pretty.
Monster green and baby blue...an ironic combo, but it works!
Hopkins is on the Gravity program for 2012 for bars, stems and grips. Gravity Light bars come in at 800mm wide and the direct mount stem pairs perfectly with the new 888s. Hopkins has stubby little arms and fingers, so keeping the cockpit short and maneuverable is key...
Make it BIG for a better look.
For now its back in the box and off to different film shoots. Hopkins has already been around the globe a few times this year, so expect to see this ride in magazines and on the web a lot this year.
