Mr Motivator Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) Confused. Is this real? edit: just noticed, its well short (N) Sam Edited May 12, 2005 by Sam@SouthTrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Norco say its got a 1047mm wheelbase and has a 90mm stem, so yeah its pretty short. 4 bolt cranks alway seem so stupid for trials because the bash is miles away from the ring.

Dan6061 Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 i can see similarities..but still a blag 9as said above) bit of a better comparison as they are both from the side (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmaz03 Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Yeah the Norco has similarities but does it match up to how the Pittbull rides. To be onist I think it is more like the Onza T-Rex :"> sorry if i am wrong just my opion. Gaz (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 its norco's cheap beginner bike ( think 4-500 quid ) its a very popular frame in canada (N) and im pretty sure its steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunkey_monkey_boy Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 That bike looks nothing like a pitbull ← why bother dave? it has obviously got its design ideas from last years pitbull, whats the point in saying it doesn't? sorry for the rant but god you post alot of shit answers and crap threads and its this one that has finally caused me to say something. yes it looks a bit like last years pitbull (as do a shed load of other bikes) however the geo is very very different and it would ride very differnetly to a pitbull. i'm off to canada in 2 weeks, if i see one out there i'll have a go and let you know how it rides (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

British made too, plain and simple triangles also good. Gaz (N)" P.S do we have to argue don't see any point to be onist with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 If people just stop talking about shit and start using this thread for talking about the Norco Evolve, there's no need to delete anything...

Wayne-king Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 (edited) its norco's cheap beginner bike ( think 4-500 quid ) its a very popular frame in canada :lol: and im pretty sure its steel ← i'd be very surprised it it was steel! :lol: but yeah, its fairly old news now. i think its also available in a nasty burgandy colour :S EDIT: the "6061 alloy" in the top left corner kinda implies that it is aluminium alloy! :P Edited May 13, 2005 by Wayne-king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Tupman Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Ha you've got to love Trials Forum :S has anyone here actually seen it in the flesh or even ridden it?? I quite like the look of it and yes it's based on an 04 Pitbull/Coust how can people say it's not :P it's so obvious. Is it wrong that I like the colour :"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 It's the old story really... People are going about how it looks like a pitbull or whatever... and how Norco have copied the idea etc But if the design works, then of course it's going to be copied! It's a lot like formula one cars really... they all look the same because they all use the same aerodynamic design (with slight alterations and different engines etc). But you get the idea, all these style of frames will look the same because it works. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
