Dear confused. Thats [censored]. 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.

Yes, they make good bikes. They are not widely available in the USA but
you can't go two feet in Canada without tripping over one, they don't
copy Specialized designs, they licensed the Specialized FSR rear end for
some of their full suspension bikes. $1800 US would get you a Fluid 2

There are two more useful keys below the "enter" key and the "caps lock"
key too. How about that...

Yeah, Oahu has some great waves.

How does one ride a bike in 20' surf?

This is confusing. Are you saying that there is a large, smooth rock
somewhere in California? If so, where because I want to ride that
rock? Also, are you trying to indicate that the deserts don't yield
trails "extreeeeem" enough for Norco bikes?

There (sic) website is propaganda, just like the rest of them.

Thanks for the final confirmation. Drink two mtn dews and come back a
little more amped up. You funny.

how sad
I left this newsgroup because certain readers were more interested in
[censored] than helping others out now I other forums like mbuk and
alike - cos atleast there talking about biking

norco's are a great bike my friend has one climbs great though they
seem cheap and are cheap so you get what you pay for but then it rides
great and feels great - its upto you - are you after a bike that looks
good or feels good?

- and I didn't use any caps or puntuate. how about that...

Gee, it's *so* sad you left. I mean, what would we do without gems of
brilliance like the above?

If you think that you've communicated anything but your own incoherence,
you're sadly mistaken.

At least you don't top-post, though. I'll give you that.

Here's a hint: punctuation, proper spelling, and proper use of
apostrophes exist to make it easy for your reader to parse your
statements. The harder you make it for someone to read what you wrote,
the less likely they will be to bother with it, and the more likely they
will be to misunderstand you, anyway.

It's easier to talk about biking when a post is literate, is all.

Sure you did, you capilized "I", and used "?". It's all in how you want
people to percieve you... illiterate, immature and using the parent's
computer when cutting school ( at least that's how "u-speak" appears to me)
or someone who's literate, somewhat mature ( har har) and interested in
communicating well about the passion for biking, with the world.

I can't speak for Norco's myself, but there were an awful lot of gals riding
them in Rossland. ( see there's biking talk for you!)

You know, from your spelling and grammar, I'd have never pegged you as an
MBUK forum member...

If sounding pompous and snobbish makes you a better person than
someone thats come to this forum, seeking advise, then I welcome
school kids, and the public minority that suffer from illiteracy, to
post away here on this 'public' newsgroup.

You yourself might want to think about how others percieve you.

goodness??!! I guess you missed the post where I corrected myself, having
found out that it's called "text-speak" from cell phone thumb typing text
messages? Is it pompous and snobbish to correct oneself on an newsgroup??.
