Norm was “Zeus” as we liked to call him. A huge guy and a motor to match. He was a good friend and mentor, neighbor and could suffer like no one I knew or know now. About the bike, Norm has several made thru Sniders Cyclery in Bakersfield. He tinkered with many setups. Norm came from a track and field background and maintained that he could really get power from his rotated “track blocks” position. I saw him climb, descend and do many group rides on this bike or one very similar. It was NOT made just for champs. or races…he rode it regularly. We know so much more about bike fit now and bio mechanics that it scares me to think what he could do…if an errant driver had not taken his life. RIP….thx for the fun post!
