Hello all,
time to buy a new bike for my local cross-country trails (no severe jumps here). I have my search narrowed down to two bikes.
1. 04 stumpjumper fsr elite disc ($2340.00 taxes in CAD) lists for about 2400 + taxes
http://www.specialized.com/SBCBkModel.jsp?spid=6785
2. 04 Norco fireball disc ($2100.00 taxes in CAD) lists for 3295 + taxes
http://www.norco.com/bikes/2004bikes/fireball.htm
The Norco seems to have better components, especially the fox float RL AVA over the stumps fox float R. The Norco has complete lockout front and back and the specialized has none, which isn't sitting well with me, because I currently use the lockout on my current forks.
I have seen the Specialized and read the reviews and all seems good, but the Norco fireball has no reviews for the 04, and because I would be ordering it online, I have ony seen pics.
Has anyone seen or been on the Fireball, and if so, would did you think?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Mike
