Norco Search

Has anyone ridden this bike? What were your thoughts?

The pic won't open. What Model are you looking at?

I just ordered the search s1, unfortunately there are no dealers in the Chicago region. I had to order it from a dealer in holland Michigan. I will post some pictures and a ride report when I get it. It looks like a great bike and has everything I was looking for at a competitive price.

Has anyone ridden both the Norco Search Carbon 105 and the Carbon GT Grade 105? The Grade is about $600 more than the Norco. If money's an important factor, is it that much better to justify the extra cash? I rode the carbon Grade over the weekend, it was a great ride. On Friday I rode the steal Search and Norcos carbon CX bike. Both were ok. They didn't have a carbon Search.

Bikesema, \nWhen is it due in?

Did you ever get your hands on the Search?  I'm looking at the same bike but there are no dealers within two hours of where I live  I'm very interested in the tire clearance.  Norco states it's 35, but I was really hoping to run the WTB Nano 40.  Can you measure the fork and stay clearance or do you have any experience with mounting larger tires?

Thanks!
