Norco bikes

[N1ck]

Hi

I'm new to this forum and wanted to ask if anyone has heard of or got a Norco bike?

I've been riding for about 2 years now on a mountain Bike. Up until a month ago i was only going riding at weekends for leisure. So this was fine.

In the last month I have just started riding to work (12 miles each way).

I am also riding in the London to Brighton.

So I have started to look for an additional bike to be used mainly on road. A local bike shop I went to recommended this bike:

Has anyone got one or seen one? Others I have been looking at are Specialized Sirrus and Trek. Looking to spend up to £600.

Thanks for your help.

I have a Norco Volante (best bike I have ever owned) which is a fore runner of the VFR, I would suggest that you try riding it, and if it is anything like mine you will want to buy it strait away...

My wife had a Norco bike. It is a Canadian company and she bought it when she lived over there. It was a pretty good bike and was used heavily for a number of years. It is now at my ex-wife's house and I believe she and my kids use it as a run about.
