Hiya Ladies!
My wife is keen on upgrading to her first FS. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a used Heckler frame for her, knowing how great it is first hand after building one up for myself last winter.
Recently I've happened across the Norco Fluid LT3, and it looks/sound like a great bike as well. Plus I have access to a frame. Hecklers don't often show up for sale in these parts….
I'm wondering if there are any of you out there riding a Norco LT3 (this one here). If so, what do you like? Dislike? How is it pedalling up and riding XC? Is it a useable 'all-in-one bike?
I'm almost convinced, based on what I've read/found online that this bike has potential, but there are no shops around here to take one for a rip. I thought I'd do some diligence and ask around the experts at least….and see if any of them have experience on this ride. Maybe some of you have ridden both this LT3 and a Heckler and can compare them?
Thanks in advance if you've got any LT3 opinions and can share them, and cheers!
