I bought a Gary Fisher Mamba about 12 years ago, maybe it's been even longer. It was a lower-end basic bike but the best I could afford at the time and I've loved it. Most of the components have been changed once or twice. I upgraded to Deore XT and Alivio the first year. The bike has been bulletproof and a pleasure to ride. These days I have street tires on it and use it almost entirely on pavement. It's a great bike for city streets and traffic. It's a little heavy for road riding but I've actually ridden a couple of centuries with it. We still have a lot of weekend layovers at ABX and I've hauled it to TUS, ABQ, BOI, MSN, MKE, etc.
Tell Gary I said thanks for the great bike and ask him if he needs a personal pilot!
