    Scott Gambler Frame Large - Seeking input and/or buyer

    So, we found out over New Years that Mrs jm2e won the raffle for one of the Scott Gambler frames in the fundraiser for Paul Basagoitia after his Rampage injury. Since then it's sat in a shipping container on a boat meandering around the Atlantic Ocean. The bike just arrived in May, and Mrs jm2e is 5' 2" tall, so now we're trying to figure out what to do with it.

    We've been hemorrhaging money for medical expenses lately, so it would really be nice to pass this on to someone else who will appreciate it more and help us pay off some bills at the same time. There just aren't enough of these on the used bike market to get a clear idea for how much it's worth, so I'm hoping some maggot input can get us closer. I don't want to rape anyone, but I don't want to just give it away either.

    It's a sweet one-off Green paint job, for whatever that's worth.
    It's got two small chips in the paint. One on the head tube that'll probably be stripped off when it's faced before being covered by the headset. The other is where the seat tube meets the bottom bracket. It's about 2.5mm in size.
    It can take 26" or 27.5" wheels.
    No shock included.

    What say you?

    Is the communities way of telling me there's zero market for this bike?
    Open to suggestions.

    I kind of like those. Very adjustable. Prob a super fun park bike. I'd start at 1200? W/O a shock

    frame only, with no shock, is a HARD sell. Odd are to buy all the parts will cost almost as much as just buying the bike as a whole. Scott can buy 1000's of XT derailers, direct from shimano in Japan, Consumers dont get that direct, or quantity deal.

    plus limited market for a pure DH rig.

    I'd be all over this if it was a medium. Then again mine is still going strong. Zero issues at all and I'm riding mine a min of twice a week if not more. Been running a medium Gambler since the current design came out. It's the cats meow as far as pure DH rigs go. With the bb in the low position its an awesome steep and technical decending sled. Move the BB to the high position and it loves to jump.
