Submitted by Zach Frey a from Newton KS, USA
Date Reviewed: June 28, 2006
Favorite Trail:dirt trails
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $230.00
Purchased At:Bicycle Exchange
Strengths:the bike is really light, it is easy to get some pop off of jumps. Also, the frame, even though its light, it held up. Im not the lightest guy but i didnt have any problems with it.
Weaknesses:the sproket was weak. I switched to a KINK 33 tooth sproket and made it better. The back rim was crap to. Get a double wall rim GT!!!!!!
Similar Products Used:GT COMPE and a custom made FIT AITKEN
Bike Setup:GT FLY frame, S&M beringer bars, no brakes, same cranks, KINK 33tooth sproket, primo tires, alex chrome rims, and poverty sofa seat, demolition grips.
Bottom Line:this bike is super light and is easy to bunnyhop all day. Even though the sproket and the back rim screwed up, it was a good bike for the money. I tried to find a good light bike that would have a 3 piece crank on it and this was the best i could find for the money.

Bottom Line:unless you are going to buy a good crank with this bike then don't get it . otherwise its a good bike for the money.

great 3 piece crank
lightweight
strong
good tyres

******GT FLY IS THE BEST OUT OF ALL OF THEM******

Bike Setup:The bike remains stock except from Odyssey Civilian Bars in a camoflage print colour, Chrome wheels with maxxi Daddy tyres and a Diamondback camoflage blue seat. The stock parts were all good but i just wanted to customise my bike to my prefered standards
Bottom Line:What can i say about this bike... Excellent!!!! Its the best bike i have owned and for the price, well u can't complain. The bike is a beautiful piece of equipment and is one of the most nicest looking bmx's i have ever seen. The stock parts also live through a hard life ( i must know i often do dirt riding every weekend and go to skate parks. You are almost gauranteed to get looks when on this bike as no one has seen a bike like it!!

Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $170.00
Purchased At:thesportsauthority.com
Strengths:LIGHT!! I'm telling you i went from a haro to this gt and it was so light and easier to contro. I'm only 14 and if its light to me than it's a feather for older people!
Weaknesses:OK well... everyone says that the one piece crank is a big weakness but i had a fusion 3 pc. on my ohter bike and i feel no difference when i ride the one piece.
Bike Setup:stock
Bottom Line:I LOVE THIS BIKE. Nice treds for whatever your style is and i have the lightest bike of my frineds which means its lighter than both free agents and haros. At under 30 pounds and built like a brick $h!t house this is a great bike for anyone from beginners to the pros! All this for under 200 bucks...YOU CANT BEAT THAT!!

Favorite Trail:138 (a local trail friends made)
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $230.00
Strengths:frame, stem, pedals, seatpost, and suprisingly the rims
Weaknesses:cranks, seat, forks, and bars
Similar Products Used:haro f3, the gt's better
Bike Setup:i bought new bars, and cut them 1/2 an inch. i bought premium bars, they were good.
Bottom Line:well i kind of put this bike through hell. i broke my first bones on this bike(collar bone, and ankle) this is suprisingly an all around good bike. i mostly ride street and dirt. my GT came with 3-piece cranks. the cranks are pain to get off. the stock sprocket bends, but the bottom line is: this bike is worth the money!!
