Negative....

Ahhh all good. Had a dude drop by work a couple weeks ago for some NBN biz and said he had both these bikes... thought it might be you.

Great looking rides though!

how are you getting along with the sight ?? im trying to choose between a new range or sight but it's really hard. do you feel the sight is a fairly competent descender on both fast/tech type trails and can be chucked around and still jump well

Interested on the above comments too....

Sorry for the very late reply to the above questions - I hadn't checked this thread. To answer them = the Sight for me is the perfect "do-it-all" bike. I honestly can't fault it. It's that good. For a 140mm travel bike, it certainly rides like a bike with more travel - if that makes sense. For me I find the weight spot on. Light enough to climb anything & won't feel sketchy on descents/loose stuff. I've ridden on most type of terrain - Lystie, Youies, Yarra trails, Buxton ect - in all kinds of weather, & the bike has never let me down.

As for the Aurum, loving it! Been riding it most weekends. I've just given the forks a service this morning after riding through a lovely Victorian winter. I swapped the Enve bars back to a pair of Chromags. I just didn't like the feel of the Enves - possibly felt over dampened... I've also put a set of Sensus grips on. Seriously the most comfortable grips I've ever felt. I'm also now starting to see a few carbon Aurums on the trails now. Norco have shown the 2016 models last week - not much has changed but they have a sweet looking new alloy Aurum that's sure to come in at a great price.
