Inbound GT Karakoram!

[stuthemong]

After some oik nicked my cheapy mountain bike, I got some insurance & added a bit on top to get this ugly bad-boy

Not the prettiest bike out there, but when you're sat on it you can't see it! For the cash I think the components looked significantly better than anything else the company offered sub £800. It was a real tear between this and the bianchi 5300 - which looks way better, but in reality is a league down from this bike at the same money. It will be sweet to have some Rockshox again, been ages since I looked down at those badboys rather than a cheapy 'suntour' jobbie.

Only posting as I'm quite excited to get a new toy, 29"ers will be interesting!

Looks a good bike, and gt have been building that frame for donkeys with minimal change, a bit like porsche.

Good buy

let us know how you get on, seriously tempted with a 29er to see what the fuss is about and the Cotic 29er is just soooo nice...

the Karakoram name has been gracing the top tube of GT frames since i can remember, nice to see it still in use.
