[floody]

Ha, no wonder you want to go to the 4x track.
I'll be putting you over the berm at turn one at the first opportunity, ya flash git :D
(joking! I only do that sort of thing at races)

That is a beautiful piece of machinery.

[iscarrr]

That thing is hot, nice, very nice, looks light too;)

[Dirt king]

That is one nice looking GT, in fact the best I have ever seen.

Can't wait until the spec list is up, and don't forget to post the weight. I am really curious as to how much it weighs.

Have fun. :D

I totally agree.

That is so nice, i want it!

[Jeebus]

nice, how did it set you back if i may ask?

[Guiver]

weighs in at around 12.2kg in its current form.

Only reason i got this over the Yeti is i was offered the GT at a great price and found a buyer for the Yeti DJ.

Oh and Floody... bring it on....

[Breaka]

4X machine. The XT gear is 'teh shit'.

I know what you're talking about; Kicking myself I didn't take it up in the end. Oh well. Looks sick.

[ozzy osbourne]

That drivechain setup is the best.
It like XO, Gamut chain device in purple (sweet), Shamanio XT cranks
Nice dominator of the 4X

Holy heck. Maybe I will have to replace my frame one day...


Oh and Floody... bring it on....

You wait, little man. :p

[Disturbed.Rider]

How do you find the fork?

I've herd mixed oppinions about it....


Does it feel front heavy or anything?

[Ruckus_Lord]

Does it feel front heavy or anything?

Well. 1.5kg frame, 2.1kg fork.

Cant really comment on the forks yet, its still early days. Never been a huge fan of the newish' Marzocchi's but i will give them thier day in court.

Looking very nice there. Is it avaliable as a complete bike or as a frame only like the 05/06 ones?
