Hi,
Although i have nothing to compare to, i do love my GT. i just want a bike that is robust and dosent require lots of fettling and can take a few hits (like on the way home when my mates straps on the carrier failed and it came off at 30 mph with only a few scratches) i may have to try a full sus but i love the look of hardtails and as i road ride tooand have only 1 bike it makes sense. also im a fair way off having that ammount of dispisable income for a bike so im making do with what i have and upgrading bits at a time. |
