I had a Norco Magnum ST in 1986 that was a full blown touring bike. It did well for the time that I had it which included a rainy three months in Europe. I currently have a 1982 Nishiki International (it says 'designed by Norco' on the lower left stay) - also a touring bike That is a swell ride. It is a few steps down from their ultimate tour package - the Continental. I have always wondered about the 'Sheilds Nishiki' here in Canada. Perhaps Norco took over the importing as mentioned earlier in this thread.
