About a week ago I went to my friends place in Ste Anne des Plaines (small town) for dinner. On our way there he said there was a Norco retailer in town... would I want to check it out? "Shure... just a peak... not buying anything..." I had already researched some of the models... and had an idea of the price range. We went in... and I noticed there was still allot of 2007 models left. (very small town) They where all lined up in ascending order. I knew that only the first 3 (MTB) models where in my price range... after that well... I would be eating Kraft Macaroni for awhile. (not that there is anything wrong with that fine delicious product) As I was admiring the bikes, I heard my friend do a "Ooooo!... look at the red one." I knew which model he was talking about... and I knew it retailed at $489 before tax. I walked over to look at it, I noticed an error in the price... it said $429. That was the price of the model before it... seems that someone made a mistake with the tags. Even at that price I was hesitant. Then I heard the young lady say... "All bikes are 30% off..." to which I replied "Oh so they are already marked down then?... ... ... NO!?"
The Norco 2007 Scrambler
Front suspension, disc brakes, aluminum frame...
I like bells & whistles... what's wrong with bells & whistles?
$300... what would you have done?

Very nice. Looks a lot like the Specialized Hardrock I used to own... stolen by a scum sucking bike thief... on which I had many fine cycling adventures. The disc brakes were nice, I remember that. I think you've started down the long road of bicycle fetishism! You've got two bikes now: one for commuting, one for fun rides. What's next? Something with skinny tires, I'm thinking.
