Its a sweet bike. The only thing I didn't like about the older Norcos is how loud they were. That big, hollow, top tube resonates sounds soooooo bad. I knew a few guys that couldn't stand it so they filled it with that foam spray. It helped a little but the bike was still loud.

I like it though.....

Older Norco Shores are in the running for the loudest bike on the mountain:p
Top Loudest Bikes: (IMO)
Intense M1
Foes Mono
Lenz Sport
Norco

The funny part is I own one of em. Hollow mono frames get a nice echo chamber sound, like a guitar. Every noise is amplified; shifts, derailler 'clacking', creaks and good old fashioned bounced rocks into the downtube!

Noisy bikes not so bad, I hardly hear it over my trail bell! :rolleyes:
I've gotten used to some of the cacophony in my rides. Its kinda like music...if you like metal.
