:I bought a Norco from a local bike shop. It was more than I was planning to spend, but after taking it for a test drive I could really feel the quality conmpared to one I was looking at at SportCheck.
I was hoping to stay under $250, but this was $360.
My wife bought the cheaper one at SportCheck, because she felt much better on it. She won't bike nearly as much as me, anyway.
Good choice, Norco is a great brand. There's a huge difference between your local bike shops and some Canadian Tire bikes.
