from Brea, CaDate Reviewed: February 6, 2009
Strengths: Can be had for less than $7-800.00. Decent components for the price. All the pivot bearings are easy to access with a BB tool and the bearings are tapered headset bearings(easy to find) Minimal pedal bob when hammering due to I-drive. The geometry seems spot on for it's intended purpose.Weaknesses: Fairly heavy. Stock suspension is kinda under rated for how fast you can push the chassis. Brakes are not the greatest(Hayes sole. The Tioga Blue dragons okay for cruising, but break loose to easy.Bottom Line: For what I have into this bike, I am really happy with the way it is turning out. I have mabe a "G" into this thing so far, counting some of the stock stuff I sold on ebay. I would recommend this bike if you are a larger rider and love a solid chassis as well as a decent climber(if you have the lungs. Go out and buy it for next to nothing spend a couple hundred on some decent components and you have yourself a great heavy all mountain/ light freeride bike.

Strengths: Strong frame, easy pedaling i-drive, excellent down hill, responsive, fits like a gloveWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: This bike rocks. swapped out 400 lbs spring for 550. Weight 200. marzocchi forks a big improvement over ome stance bunt. There do not appear to be to many around. I have only seen one other GT 7 and that was at Whilstler during crank works. I would recommend this bike to any serious mountain biker into down hill free ride. A little heavy for all mountain but could be lightened up by using lighter tires.

from Hailsham, EnglandlandDate Reviewed: July 2, 2008
Strengths: Its the best all round bike i've ever had, going up is ok, but downhill is where this bike really comes to life.Weaknesses: stock rims(alex dp 20) are abit weak, i've stuck a flat spot on my rear rim doing a 2 foot jump, the stock front forks have reliability issues.
but these can be solved by new rims and better front forks.Bottom Line: This is a very very good bike for the money, the frame is bombproof, the whole bike is just simply the best, change the rims and the front forks for better ones then you are race ready, SERIOUSLY GET THIS BIKE, NOW.
