The norco pure stock1800 aus
The atx dh 2 repainted 6" on the rear without forks and brakes 500 aus.
PLease give help!!!!

SANTA CRUZ AND NORCO RULE!!!

I prefer the Norco range. They are quite good value

I'd take the Norco. Is that an Aline or Atomik thats $1800? which year model?

All good value bikes. The 03 atomik fork isnt amazing, but the 04 has a jrT, if you don't mind buying new. The 03 Aline is neat, but the MonsterT2 on the frontend will be like a pile of bricks.

SC make good bikes, and Giant ATX's seem alright too, but giants tend to crack easier than other bikes.
