[Closed] On the 179th day of Christmas...

Picked up my new bike today - Norco Sight 2 SE from Evans Cycles. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and great service. And they let me disappear on it for a 30 minute test ride for free. 🙂

This is, of course, disregarding the fact that my riding is pretty ropey most of the time anyway!

Originally went in with the intention of buying the Lapierre Zesty, but wasn't impressed at all. Even running the suspension extra soft led to a firm and skittish ride, and I was faster up and down hill on the Norco. Possibly a size issue? Dunno.

Level of kit on the Sight far better - servo wave brakes, SLX / XT Shadow Plus / Reverb post / Fox Factory CTD etc.

Bit of a sad day too... farewell Giant Trance, you've served me well for 8 years.
