Strengths: stronge stiff bikeWeaknesses: come with cable brakes witch are not that great , and can only go up to a 2.3 tyre on the rear.Bottom Line: this bike makes a good free ride and dirt jumping bike , i bort the bike new in 2003 and still ride it now in 2009 , this poor bike has been abused six years , dj3 forks gave up in 2005 and i put some 2005 dj3 forks on and they are still running fine , i put hydraulic brakes on and new back wheele and a shorter stem , the rest of the bike are the same parts that come with the bike , the bottom braket makes a creaking nose the last three years , i will have to have a look at it one day, other than that the bike is great andi still love it

Strengths: This a sweet bike it is light and easy to handle Not to mention a great price.Weaknesses: It could use hydrolic disc brakes but everything else is awsomeBottom Line: this bike is great with a few upgrades like better forks and hydro's this is a nice ride. I am planning on some Hayes HFK-mag DH 8 inch brakes, a DMR ultraspeed 2 chain guide, and a 24 inch sun doublewide rim with a big fat nokian Gazzalodi to top it all off

Bike Setup: I put 2004 Marzocchi JRT's, new 31.8mm bars, new hub, odi lock on grips, and DH tubes. it is so sweet with the JRT's. I advise anyone who is thinking of upgrading their forks to get the JRT model.

Strengths: frame-very strong, well balanced, great geometry, unique color
fork-perfect travel for dirt jumping, very easy to use, looks kick@ss
brakes-take time to burnish but other than that, stop well and very easy to use
crankset-very strong
pedals- replacable pins, durable
rims-not the strongest but can deal with a fair amount of beatings
Weaknesses: rear rim- i personally would have liked to seen a 24" in the rear
derailers-not top of the line, but certainly good quality
seat- this is my ONLY MAJOR COMPLAINT! the seat is so uncomfortable. to be honest it looks bad tooBottom Line: AWESOME BIKE!!!!this bike is ready for anything u throw it.Norco shore hardtails are awesome bikes and this certainly is not an exception. some componants are not top of the line, but for the price, deffinetly worth it.obviously if someone wanted a norco like this but with better components, theres the other shore hardtails.i bought this bike because i was just getting into dj/urban/freeride and i didnt want to get the top of the line.great bike to learn stuff on, but then again this bike is just waiting to be decked out with better components later.this bike is awesome for any kind of mtb riding other than xc. this bike is built to last and i would suggest it to anyone other than an xc rider.
