Hallo

Ich bin Gabby from der Niederlande. Mein Deutsch sprache ist nicht so gut wie es sein mus (???), therefore I will continue in english if thats ok. Although my name might suggest different, I am a guy from Rottedam in the Netherlands.
In 6 weeks I will be moving to Dresden, to start working there and hopefully be able to N-joy some really nice rides in the area around Dresden...
I ride xc, trail, FR, DH and used to do some dual and 4x, but our local track here has been removed last year and I am geeting a bit rusty in the dual/4x scene and rinding...

bikes;
xc => liteville 301

fr/dh => Banshee/mythic Wildcard

dual/dirt => on one gimp

and I have my banshee scream still, but it is for sale; 1550 euro

I hope to see some of you on the tracks in Germany once, and hopefully to be introduced to some nice xc routes, trails, dual/4x tracks or DH/freeride tracks in the area's around Dresden.

n-joy every ride
Gabby

Indeed there are some difficulties with the delivery of the wildcard frames. I also had some problems with the rockers on my wildcard, as they did not allow to mount the shock in the 6,5 inch travel setting. This was nicely solved by BANSHEE, by sending me new rockers

Due to a huge price difference, I bought my wildcard in the UK (freeborn) => resulted in saving 450,- => allowing me to buy a new 66SL

Riding impression is superb! Especially after swapping my 170mm 66rc (2005) for this one. It a trail-play bike with progressive characteristics. Highly efficient in acceleration and a real playbike.

Be sure to post your wildcard. It is nice to see the wide range of build-setup (and riding pics)!

happy trails,
Gabby

Hi Gabby,

yes, I have ordered mine from Freeborn too, but it seems like Pacific Cycles have a slightly delay in Production, so I have to stay patient.
Can´t wait to built mine up, ride it and post some Pics!

Enjoy Dresden, it´s a beautyfull City and I´m near there from time to time, so maybe we can meet to ride together.
I don´t know places to ride there, so check out here:

It´s the lokal forum to find trails near by you (Sachsen and Vogtland ?!?)
Or head up to Winterberg, which is the best Bikepark in Germany actually!

Greetings and ride on!
