Date Reviewed: July 23, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$500.00 | | Purchased At: | The Bike Shop- Jones | | Strengths: | Bullit proof, good components, 29'r | | Weaknesses: | seat tube and clamp | | Similar Products Used: | Giant, Specialized Epic FS | | Bike Setup: | Stock except just swapped stock grips for OURY's | | Bottom Line: | First bike since a fews years off a bike (school and new daughter) and I wanted a SS. Glad I went with the GT. It is solid and fast on the trail and with the 29r you can just about roll over everything. I am glad I got rid of my other bikes because I wouldn't ride them again after this one. GET THIS BIKE you will NOT regret it! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: June 16, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | panguitch, utah, reno flag bear deadmans, crested butte, hagen/farrins/wilson canyon, jackson hole | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$500.00 | | Purchased At: | online | | Strengths: | simple, durable, good parts at this price (a lot of easton stuff, the cranks and BB are good stuff) the steel triple triangle frame is forgiving for a hardtail and an oldschool throwback. I dig it and I thrash my gear hard | | Weaknesses: | a bit heavy, but at this price I'd rather have durable and heavy over flimsy and light. narrow seatpost (but when I singlespeed I spend a lot more time standing on the pedals) not impressed with the cane creek headset, had to dish and tighten the wheels when the bike came. | | Similar Products Used: | this is bike #4. I also have a Bianchi Cross bike, a Santa Cruz Heckler, and a Specialized S-Works FSR. This is the first hardtail mountain bike I've had since my first generation Schwinn Homegrown. Definately like steel better than aluminum. | | Bike Setup: | as it came, but put a Reba w/ 100mm of travel up front. | | Bottom Line: | I'm 25 but I started riding mountain bikes in '92 when I was 9. I like racing x-country and hitting jumps and stunts. I think all aspects of mountain biking are cool. I have other bikes but this one is seeing a lot of ride time. It's a cool bike, and the frame is a classic, not a cheap hunk of steel. I have a tall fork on the bike which makes the geometry pretty slack, I think the slower handling works well for a hardtail. Mine has 26 inch wheels, I don't think GT offers this bike without 29 inch wheels now. Singlespeeds aren't for most riders. It is just plain hard to crunch them up long uphills at altitude. I think it's a good bike and a good value. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: April 21, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | the watershed | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Price Paid: |
$500.00 | | Purchased At: | online | | Strengths: | Decent components, good solid wheels, good feel | | Weaknesses: | None thus far | | Similar Products Used: | Raleigh XXIX | | Bike Setup: | completely stock | | Bottom Line: | Great bike. I use it mostly for commuting but do not hesitate to take it on any XC trails(I ride it at the Frederick Watershed in MD if you know where that is). Its a solid bike, highly recommended as a first SS bike. My only potential regret is not getting the 9'er version, but still an outstanding bike. 5 flaming turds for value and overall. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
