A rider at the local Urban Assault had one. I was duly impressed with those hydroformed tubing. For a second i thought it was ?GT Fury like Mick Hannah's. but it was a gambler.

Dont even want to know what they cost once they are here

[Capricorn]

doesnt seem to be too pricey overseas: average i've seen i guessed about $2400, which is just over R20k. Not bad. About the same if slightly cheaper than the Demo 8 IIs and the Intense 951 FROs

DHK: look at the color schemes of these gamblers?

 

That lime green one with all that white is dead sexy. Mike Hopkins (USA) has one of those. Lemme try to find the vid of him with that bike in it. very very seksi.

What size crank arms should I get have a choice between 165 and 170mm

[Capricorn]

if your BB is very low, then 165, otherwise, stick to the median, which is 170mm. have you had issues with 170mm previously? If it aint broke dotn fix it
