Strengths: Immense durability. This bike can take alot of abuse. The top tube length makes it comfortable for both medium and large riders,(6ft +). The bike was spec'd out nicely with Alex jumping rims and a decent drive train,(for the price). The ride was very forgiving making it a great bike for riders just getting into the burly/street scene.Weaknesses: The crankset could have been a bit stronger. (the left crank-arm torqued at 4.5 ft to flat), no biggie though. Did GT completely overlook the platforms? the ride was much better after the additionof Brooklin "Tenderizer" platforms. Lastly, I found that the weight and longer rear stay made it feel just a little awkward in the air, particularly on ledges and drop-aways. Oh and multi-surface tires would do much better than the knobbies.Bottom Line: A great starter bike for "fresh-meat" hucksters. The frame can take the sh*t you're gonna be able to throw at it and the components will hold up until you can afford better. *(note: 2001 GT Fueler is sold frame only. 2k1 "Thumper" is basicly the old Fueler with a better spec. Check it out.) The bike will all but beg to be abused. The fact that A two-hundred an' eight pound, six foot-two rider still owns a complete and very rideable one ought to say somethin'.

Strengths: frame super strong,wheels are totally bomobproof. The axles leave something to be desired considering that the bike is now on #3 in the rearWeaknesses: totally the axles and the seatpost. needs 3 pc cranksetBottom Line: could have easily been spec'd with 3pc and 14 mm axles at that price. good ride, but it feels like the top tube is slung too low
Favorite Trail: Mn River bottoms and monkey village
