Awesome bike. The only carbon bike I ever wanted.

Anyone remember the thermoplastic bike they used to do. Met some guy who had one, he said when they get really cold they snap! He was riding one in Switzerland across a glacier at the time...

All the GT carbon full sus bikes from the late ninties had a reputation for cracking, snapping and unbonding.

This was the plastic one, not the carbon one - he did get it replaced by GT with no hassle.
