      The bicycle looks beautiful, rides smooth and takes fenders without rigging them on.  All the performance of a racing bike, with the comfort and versatility of a touring bike. I’ve owned about forty bikes in the last 20 years, this Co-Motion Nor’Wester is one of the most satisfying bicycles I’ve ridden. Thx again, Len

      I have a 2008 Nor’Wester and love it! I have ridden 18,000 miles on it with no problems. It handles perfectly when I ride loaded touring. I have 2 sets of wheels for it. A light fast set of Rolf racing wheels for going fast and touring wheels for touring. I have ridden it on dirt roads and it handles fine and cold snowy mountain passes in France and no shimmy. This bike really can do it all. I love it so much I just bought another one for my partner. If you travel often go for the couplers because Co-Motion will not retro fit your bike later.
