  2. I didn't realize that Norco is a Canadian company. I'm not sure I follow the comment about how the company has grown from 150 employees... do you mean that it has grown to 150 employees?

    Brandon, make sure you are proofreading your postings... check tht each sentence starts with a capital and ends with a period and you don't have run-on sentences.

    This looks like it will be a very interesting blog about Norco bikes. I look forward to learning more.

  7. Yeah I think the Atomik would be pretty fun to ride. It seems a little weird that they don't all just make things the same style as the best bike.
