So I saw some Norco bikes
and compared to the trek and specialized they are priced a bit lower they seem to have the same components as their counterparts. How are Norco bikes? Are they as good not as good better?
Thanks

They are very good and the reason they are priced low is because they are building a name for themselves at this point. They are great bikes. I tried to buy their touring bike but it was sold out for months!

Norco is a well established brand up here in Canadaland. Bought my brother a Norco VFR Commuter IGH ('09?) a few months ago and he loves it. Solid, well made and comfortable bike, good components, comfortable ride, handles well. He's happy and has no complaints.

I have one of their 2010 City Glides. It is a great bike for the money. I did have warranty issue with the rear wheel and the company was very responsive and replaced the wheel gratis.
