Hi to all,

Names Trevor, age 45 going on 21, live near Billericay and I am looking at buying a new MTB very soon.

Just getting back into mountain bikes again, after many years doing other stuff.

Used to ride alot over Langdon hills back in the late 80's and 90's.
Bought my first MTB in 1985; a Peugeot 15 speed, no suspension in those days. :crazy:

Now looking at getting out again, have been following things on here for a while and thought it's time to get with the program.

Haven't got a bike at the mo., been looking at a lot of bike mags and web reviews.
The new Norco Killer-b is top of my list at the mo. :geek:

Can't wait to get going.

Regards
Trev :wave: :wave:

Right; I'v been to Evans this afternoon, Their web site lists the Norco Sight Killer-B in stock (at warehouse).
So have bitten the bullet, have book a test ride on the lowest priced sight killer-B.
The guys at Evans seem to know their stuff, bike should be available Thursday.

Not long to wait.......

Trev.

Andy,

Lakeside, only work 3 mins drive form the shop.

Just sad that Norco's are exclusive to them.

Bring on thursday afternoon. :high5:

Good news this afternoon, phone call from the guys @ Evans.

The Norco sight Killer-B 3 has arrived in store :clap: :clap:

Test ride tomorrow afternoon, look out lakeside lunatic on expensive bike :lol: :lol:

Cant wait, though it's the 'cheapest' sight killer-B should be good. (I hope)

Note to self ; DONT CRASH IT BEFORE YOU'VE PAIDED FOR IT. :crazy:

Hoping to get out on the trails very soon :wave: :wave:

Oh what a ride :!: :!: :!:

Had a real blast out on my test ride this afternoon, the Norco Sight Killer-B 3 is a real gem of a machine.
Even just 30 mins biking round lakeside was fun.

Just going to test the Sight Killer-B 2 machine next week.

And make my choice :think: :think:

Soon be out on trails.

Trev.
