This is my 2017 Norco Sight C9. My whole life I had ridden mtbs or 26ers and this is my first modern bike with big wheels.
I am a chronic disease fighter who saw life almost slip by in 2017, this bike has literally saved my life… through MTB I found ways to recover my mental stability, get my body in motion and fight back to those things that will never change. Enough about me though and let’s get to it… Why is this bike special?

There are quite a few neat things about this bike. Here are a few:

• This bike used to belong to the one and only, berm slasher Bryn Atkinson. Bryn and I got in contact through a bike selling forum and he was super kind and understanding of my situation. I got this bike for a steal… like… literally a symbolic amount!
• When I went to buy the bike he has not available to come to meet us so instead we met with Jill Kitner who happens to be an amazing person!
• Some parts of this bike are quite unique for example: The serial code on the fork will say this is a “black fox 36” – this is one of those forks of the wave when orange was exclusive to pro riders and Fox did not have a serial modifier for Orange versions
• The rear shock has the inscription: “Kitner” engraved on it. According to my mechanic (who is a suspension guru in the PNW) Fox does that to shocks specifically tuned for their sponsored riders
• The bike is mounted on full Shimano parts but I have added some personal tweaks and customizations that make it special to me including a Wolfcage extender to run a 49T rear cog (this helps me in climbs since I have a fused rib cage)

Hope you guys like the build. I will be happy to share more (:

Cheers!
