Picked up the gambler today. Woohoo!!!
Isn't she gorgeous?
Took it for a quick blast round the woods earlier. It's sooooo much beefier than the marin and really inspires so much confidence in me to push harder and faster.
Can't wait to get over swinley on it!

Ha never noticed that before, still nice though!0 -
Lady?
Look at the size of it. If it's a lady then she's a bodybuilder.
It looks to me like it has a short wheelbase. Better in tight corners.
Great bike.0 -
This has set me back a very reasonable £1400. It's an 08 model, so got it at sale price. That headtube is wicked, apparently you can adjust the head angle, although I'm not much of a bike mechanic/tech sort of person.
Also, the shop I bought it from (shout to the lads at mountain trax) upgraded the chain guide and bash to E13, looks much better than the crappy truvative jobby that comes as standard.
I will be at swinley next wkend 7th/8th march if it ain't raining. The trails are drying out a treat with this nice dry weather.0 -

thats a damn good price! Have to get reading the manual about that headtube!
Don't mind guiding a Swinley n00b if you go? I'll try to not slow you down, promise0 -
