norco bikes has introduced this fine little number recently as a 2010 model. it is called "the spade" and should retail for just under $800.this is norco's first real entry into the "urban fixed gear" category and i think they have done a good job. the bike is sold with front and rear brakes, flip-flop free/fixed, lots of chrome bits and - of course - the all white style is the new punk rock! the frameset is steel, as well as the unicrown chromed fork.
below are a couple fuzzy shots of some nice detail work and the required bling(chain, cable clamps, blue stuff, chrome), which seems to be necessary these days for bikes in this category. god forbid making it all flat black or boring looking.
very cool seat binder bolt detail.
i also liked the "N" carved in the dropouts.
all and all, i would say this is a pretty good bike for that person looking for some urban style without breaking the bank.
now all you need to do is put on your messenger bag, roll up your tight pants, slip on your vans and fakenger it up with the other urban hipsters.
