2007 Gary Fisher Supercaliber

[Gadro]

Been sorting out my bikes today, thought I'd posted this up

Here's a 2007 NOS frame Gary Fisher Supercaliber which I built up not so long ago. Wanted a light XC specific full susser and this appeared on my doorstep

Apart from the Hope Brakes everything else is brand new

looks like a slim heckler type thing

 

[Gadro]

Yeah didn't think of the similarities until you mentioned it

 

[cyfa2809]

well that was off the top of my head and now that youve put a pic up theyre remakably similar :shock:
i bet it rides like a whppet?
ive always like single pivots simple yet effective

oooooh.. im liking that a lot :shock: never even considered one

how does it ride?
any sideways flex from the rear end?

any sideways flex from the rear end?

very much so. a mate had one from new, in the very same colour, and its a bit of a running joke in our little group.....

There is a bit of flexiness in the rear BUT it all depends what you want this bike do. For full-on XC it's perfect, put some tight turning single track and rocks in to the mix then it's not really the best choice. Got other bikes for that

thats a shame really as if they could've strengthened the rear end, im sure it've sold a lot better....thats why i prefer oranges design in the box section patriot etc.

looks nice though and i bet its super fast on the long draining rides
