New and Old Scott Gambler Prototypes - Brendan Fairclough's Updated Scott Gambler Prototype - Mountain Biking Pictures - Vital MTB

Brendan Fairclough got a new frame with a few upgrades and a fresh paint job. The new one is up top, old below. Can you spot any differences? Looks like the linkage has been slightly modified. Credit: Scott11

THEY REMOVED THE PEDALS AND HAD THEIR FLAGSHIP WORLD CUP RIDER PROTOTYPING A BIKE A COUPLE WEEKS BEFORE THE REAL SEASON KICKS OFF. AT LEAST THEY KEPT THE STANDOVER REALLY LOW SO THAT FAIRCLOUGH'S WHIPS WOULDN'T LOOK WHACK, SINCE THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT WILL SELL THIS BIKE. ALSO NO ONE HAS SAID CRAP ABOUT THE DOWNTUBE AT THE BB AREA DEVELOPING A CASE OF SCOLIOSIS.
