Great review. With respect to your comment about the chainstay length, I read elsewhere that the norco hsp has 460mm length chainstays at sag due to the rearward axle path. Did you notice the short chainstays primarily on steep terrain? I would think that the lengthening of the rear end would negate that feeling when compressing into a corner or when riding through rough terrain, but the compression won't be happening on steep descents. Thanks!
