Guest Omega Man Posted August 2, 2012 Share The Gambler ready to roll in the Alps She is unfortunately a heavy weight, weighing in at 21.2kg's I'm going to have to pack ultra lightMarzo and Code's with braided hoses. Good choice there fella. You will be thankful for the damping on that fork and the power of those brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted August 4, 2012 Share So after much procrastination, i finally wrestled on the uncooperative Schwalbes and now i can say the bike is ready for France. She put on some weight (1.2kg) from tyres (double carcass), cassette, dh tubes, and a bigger spring, but 18.2kg for a large framed beast, still not bad. Here she is http://img.tapatalk.com/298484d6-3cfd-a32e.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/298484d6-3d3e-9428.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/298484d6-3d8c-7c34.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_mil Posted August 8, 2012 Share Well I'll be learning to ride a new bike on this trip. Couldn't say no...Morewood Makulu (Cane Creek DB shock & Boxxer Noodle). It save me a lot of weight over the Gambler (like 4kg's)I guess France is as good of a place as any to learn. I will certainly partake in the Mutzig.

I'd lose the boxxer for the marzo tho. just for the trip. And unless the other bike has good brakes get those codes on there.
