Unbelievable bike. Climbed from Lynn Valley mall today from my buddy's house up through Princess Park under the powerlines and kept up with my buddy who was on his hardtail and is a very strong rider and climber. Continued on up the Dempsey and along the Baden up to Bobsled. Made our way to Ladies and was blown away that I hadn't completely died on the climbs. My fitness is ok but the bike was such an great climber I forgot I was on a 6" bike. Descending on Ladies was a blast, super confident! Norco has hit the mark with this bike and I feel is now in the realm of the top echelon of "all-mountain" bikes from Santa Cruz, Trek, Giant and Specialized.
Here's some more photos post ride and clean.
Now all I need is my Reverb to come to make it complete:)
