I ride a 2001 Gary Fischer Mamba... its an odd name, but its a great bike. its a hardtail, has post Moderne front shocks, shimano acera gears, and great brakes. I love it... I bought it for 310$ a little while ago with the Gary Fisher "fishtail" bar ends. I plan on buying a 1996 GT somethin or another, full suspension downhill bike, I am gonna get it from a buddy at work, he rode it for one summer and then got lazy, so I am gonna get it and start up downhill racing, if anyone knows anything about downhill racing, please reply to my string titled "Downhill Racing" I have some questions about it..
