Not sure on the year, need better pics, bit it's cool!

Then again I would say that, I have an '03 Gringo

My first guess was 2001, but the most recent catalogue on here is 2000 (see p21)

looks quite similar though, so maybe 2001 isn't far out.

I'd say £86 is definitely good value - the saddle and the thumbies alone are worth more than half of that!

Odd, my '03 Gringo had the same toptube sticker as the '00 one!

I had one of those new, initially thought it was 2001 but the one i has was definetly the one in the 2000 catalogue. I bought it cheap at the end of the year. It came in either orange or black. Mine was black. One of my mates has got it now. It's a really nice bike.

This is a 1999 Gringo (excuse the U-Turn forks set to 100mm travel, i'd be out pissing about ):

I'd say 2001 or 2003. I've got a 2002 in blue and I can't remember if it was the year before of the year after that came in black. Not very helpful sorry (oh and by the way it's cool ).

Don't think it's an '03, unless he's swapped loads of parts over, this is my '03.

Frame, Fork, saddle, bars, seatpost, R mech, rh shifter & crankset all original on mine.

Need better pics to make a decision on the age of the bike in question.
