Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $4000.00
Purchased At:Performance bikes
Strengths:Great
Weaknesses:none
Similar Products Used:Trek Y5
Bottom Line:Are you sure about this??, as you can see I have also purchased this at performance bikes, and I printed your post out went to the store and showed to them.
They said they have no record of anyone buying this bike and then returning it, and there is, to their knowledge, no recall or defect with the bike.

I'm obviously concerned if what you claim is true, but who is telling the truth?

I have sent an email to GT Bikes and linked your comment to that email. I hope they will clarify this for the better or the worse.

Date Reviewed: April 3, 2008
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $4000.00
Purchased At:Performance
Strengths:Good looks, great parts.
Weaknesses:Bad frame! I actually returned the bike and was informed that there would be a recall - the seat tube was manufactured incorrectly, leading to it warping under pressure. You can even feel it bulge when sitting on the seat, as the seat post slowly digs its way through the frame. I was also informed that several riders had actually broken their frames while riding.
Similar Products Used:Trek 8700
Bike Setup:Stock - full XTR.
Bottom Line:Don't buy unless you're sure that you (a) have a money-back guarantee, or (b) have a frame from a new manufacturing run after the defect is fixed.
