Norco Cabot 2 (2015)

The 2015 Norco Cabot 2 is an entry-level touring bike. The cromoly frameset is light, resilient, and very sturdy, able to carry all your gear, winter or summer, and capable of repair in the most out-of-the-way places. Brazeons are extensive, with mounts for front and rear racks, fenders, and even disc brakes; already equipped with Tektro's sure-stopping cantilevers, the last are the most optional. Remaining kit is also sturdy and reliable, highlighted by the 36H alloy wheels, clad in Continental's puncture-resistant pavement tires.
A very good beginner's touring bike.
