The Chucker is now available online at around £320 in the black colour or £350 for the blue (which looks better in real life than it does in the pictures). The Chucker handles jumps really well and, although the bash ring [the front part where the gear change happens- normally has about 3 cogs in it] is not best for speed & long distance road riding (I managed 40 miles in a day) but keeps the chain on during jumps. All the SRAM parts [all the parts to do with gears - changers, derraillier...] are capable of a lot of thrashing about and have a really smooth change. The rear derraillier [the mechanism that moves the chain from one gear to another] even stayed together with my friend jumping on it. It is perfect for stunts as the front & forks are not too light (as in the Diamondback Groove) so you do not fall backwards during jumps and wheelies; the weight overall is pretty light . The tires have great grip on loose gravel but still manage well on tarmaced road surfaces. Overall a great bike - especially for those who want a cheap start jump bike.

Hi and welcome to Ciao. Some more detail or explanation would help the un-informed reader, for example what is a bash ring, what are SPAM parts and it's good to hear the derraillier stayed together - but what is it? If you decide to edit please leave a message in my gb and I'm happy to pop back to re-rate. Lin
