It's a Pantera, huzzah! I want one just because of the name... just like I want a Norco Speed Metal for the sticker, there's a few other bikes out there that have cool names, but I'll shut up now.
On another note, how'd the Velocity rim going, cracked the spoke holes yet?

It's good to see an old skool Gt frame complete with old skool Velocity Deep-V rim. Love the ano blue seat clamp :)
This reminds me of my early years MTB'ing, with all my friends and I running Deep V rims on the rear because we trashed our OEM stuff. Those rims were enviable back then! Viva La OldSchool :D

what rear rim is that dude, looks like a mavic ?

Nah, it's a Velocity Deep V. Old skool....
Like Rik said, it's from when i trashed the OEM Mavic XC rim years ago trying to do trials (ie 4 ft drop to flat all the time).
It's been a tough bloody rim since, i've hammered the shit out of it, and it's still holding on.
Give it time, it'll crack at each spoke hole. Well, that's what three of mine did :shock:
