NO! *smack* NO! *smack* Bad Norco, baaad!!

the silver paint probably doesn't help... (with the warehouse bike look) But damn id still ride it. They will prob straighten up the tubes for production a bit anyway won't they? Or is that their final specimen...

so u found that pretty funny did ya? Im not sure quite why, as making frames more simple is sometimes a way they make production bikes more affordable...

Norco have a massive fanboi following in the states so they'll sell no matter what.
I don't think making them affordable or pretty is high on their list.

Just like Santa Cruz
