I am able to get one of these for about the same price. The Quick 5 is 2 yrs younger than the VFR 4. The VFR 4 seems to be the more $$$ when new. Likely due to the discs brakes which I don't really care since it is for commuting. Not to mention the discs will add to the overall weight.
What do you think?

The Quick 5 is a nice bike.

I have the Quick 2 - it is really a perfect bike. Different parts than the Q5, but the frame, etc. is awesome. As usual, try them both, get the one that feels right.

The Quick 5 is a nice bike.

'07 Norco VFR 4 Disc looks nicer to me.

Lately, there have been quite a few horror stories about Norco's lack of customer service.....

But since these bikes are used, I don't really care about a company's CSR quality.
How is the bike's quality though?

Buy the one that rides the nicest, for you...... One ride should tell you...

^ If that is the case, I'd buy a Kona Jake or Dew Drop!
