norco vs look

You'll notice a massive difference! That's a pro peloton proven frame and wheelset with a top notch groupset...what an awesome ride. (jealous :eek: )

Although the drop in weight will be noticeable, I think the more noticeable difference will be in the ride quality from such a top frame, the racey and surefooted handling and silky smooth ride. Congrats on picking up such a sweet ride.

ya i been reading lots about the frame, looks super hardcore.

i hope i made a good choice for the rims, i really want a rim that would be good for racing and training..

the seat post,stem, and handle bars are all carbon.
the cranks arn't the new chorus that are carbon though.

thanks for the reply

hey guys new to the forum, been reading for a long time now.

i am riding a 03 norco crr1, with 105, and alx320 rims.
i'v been working alot of overtime and weekens i just put a down payment on a 05 kg486, full chorus, with mavic sl rims.

its huge jump , but im getting the new bike preety much at cost.
will i really notice a huge differnce between the two bikes.
nocro its 20.5 lb, well the look is 17.9

thanks alot guys, just looking for some input , on the new frame,mavics. or chorus

Great choice - i ride a KG486 as well. I run Durace with Mavic Kysrium SL's for most my riding/training. I went from an aluminium frame (carbon forks) which was very heavy but really stiff to this full carbon machine - i love it and the ride quality is fantastic IMO. It has saved my lower back greatly as it's nowhere near as harsh as the al frame.

The frame is quite aero (rear wheel cut-outs, etc) but really stiff through the bottom bracket - have a look how much material they've used down there! Most other manufacturers are following suit nowdays (eg Trek, Cervelo, Giant..). I haven't noticed any real frame flex or sloppiness under hard acceleration/sprints, but i'm quite light (152lbs). The frame itself is not uber light in comparison to Giant's, Treks, etc so may not climb as well but given i'm not heavy, i haven't had much problems with hills. It's pro-peleton proven so will be fine for mere mortals such as ourselves
You won't be disappointed with this choice😄 It also looks awesome:p

i have FSA Aluminium bars and stem - there's some slick looking carbon aero stuff out there, but if you plan on doing some racing and drop the thing :eek: , your carbon bars may have had it. I think i prefer the al in this case.

ya that was the one thing that really attracted me to this bike, was all of the matarial used for the bottom braket. theres no skinny little tubing, really thick too

thanks alot guys
