Dear confused. Thats bull****. Norco make great bikes. You ever hear of the
North Shore? Thats their play ground. Not some dry desert trail or some
large smooth rock like they have out in California. Check out there web page
and ask around. They have some good bikes in that price range. Does your
bike shop sell Turner frames? Does that make them a bad brand? Go out and by
a few magazines and do some more reading on the web. Google around.
