Per my conversation with another salesperson, this frame was apparently some overstock from Norco since they decided to exclude the Tactic from their newest line-up. Note: The above was copied from my email. This bike was built-up in-house from the frameset, and as such, we were able to spec it with new parts from our own inventory and pass the savings on to you, the customer. The frame and fork are covered by Norco's warranty. It looks like a very nice custom build of a frameset. Why is this Norco bike priced so low in compared to other new bikes in the same class, and what is the warranty like on this bike? Thanks for reaching out to us regarding this Norco Tactic SL. In the meantime, here is the conversation that I have with The Pro's Closet customer service about the bike and why it's priced sooo low like that. I'll give an update after I take it out for some spins. I hope I am right and this is indeed a good deal. I mean I would expect a heck lot of difference from this Norco Tactic built in house at The Pro's Closet to the one reviewed a few years ago on BikeRader for the components it carries now. At this point, I'm just trying to see what this bike is like and perhaps write a review for it so people in the same position as me would have a reference cuz It was really frustrating not being able to find any reviews that is up-to-date for that Norco Tactic. It's supposed to come tomorrow, I also got a pair of Schwalbe Pro One TLE Addix to put on to try as well. So after like 2 months of debating, I pulled the trigger to get the Norco. I mean you get top of the line eTap, disc brakes although not hydraulic, okay carbon TLR wheelset in a fairly good package at 4k pre-tax being only 7.4kg (size 50.5 for me). In addition, it's like half a kilo lighter than the two bikes mentioned too. I have also been browsing The Pro's Closet for some time now and the Norco Tactic SL eTap AXS that they offer has always been on the back of my head for what you get while paying decently less than what I would pay for the 2021 Trek Emonda and the Canyon Aeroad. So, I was thinking of the Trek Emonda SL 6 Pro and the Canyon Aeroad CF SL 8 Disc, which both of them are quite a stretch on my budget considering ya have to add tax + shipping on top of them.

I'm not racing or anything but I just enjoy going fast both on flat and climbing mountains. The requirements are that I want the lightest bike for the money (at least high 7 to low 8 kg) with a good look (aka some aero features if possible), at least a full Ultegra group, carbon wheels TLR.

Okay, I was in the market to look for a new road bike too. VeloMemes (amateur racing, amateur memes).Or check out the 2018 version, Where Can I Find a Ride?
