Gary Fisher Piranha

[kipperthedog]

You don't see many Gary Fishers here, then 3 come along at once! This 2009 Piranha frame is the new home to the bits off my Giant Nrs. The Giant always felt too short in the top tube, at 61cm this should be fine. It's a quirky looking frame and I really like it. Originally spaced with silver parts, I like it better with black. I need a longer gear cable but other than that is nearly ready to go.

Re:

I have ridden this a bit and likeit a lot. The gamble of not fitting a Genesis 2 fork hasn't ruined the handling. I have swapped the Dmr V8s for m525 spds and fitted a nicer 2 bolt seat post but otherwise just ridden it.

I am minded to put nicer wheels on it than the ex Carrera ones on it at moment...not sure what yet. As much as I like the Manitou Black I am tempted to try an air fork an R7 would be nice but they are few and far between or a RS Reba maybe....
