Best GT Bicycle Bicycles

Perfect bike, love it – I really like this bike, it is perfect to ride as this is my first proper mountian bike. The Frame is easy for me to ride and the tyres (kenda small block eights) are grippy. I would recommend the GT stomper 24” for kids between 8-12

This a dream come true – I bought a 2011 GT Zaskar Carbon Team model size large in Sept. 2011. It feels great, I used to work as a messenger for 6 years over here in… Read more

Stockholm, Sweden. I used a GT Zaskar w. disck brakes as my last workbike. The one and only thing I dislike is the RS XX fork that still moves w. locked out. I have read that they do that, but at the time didn't know what to make of it. Something I have to suck up to : ( The big or should I say small chain ring is too small for me, I speed it out at flats and downhills. I had a major problem w. the rear hub/body that was caused by a spring that broke and made it impossible to shift gears. It took for ever to get a spare over here in Sweden, due to the fact that the major supplier when bankrupt in Denmark. I hated the bike for that . . I'm just like a stubborn kid. But today 12/3 2012 I went for a short ride just downtown and back, 40 min. And it works, I don't want to jinx it. If it breaks down again, had to wait for 4 months for the spare, I would go nuts and in a bad way. It's light and stiff. Looks great, but I love Zaskar frames. It's very expensive, but I got a great deal. The RS fork wasn't what I had hoped for and it to forever to get the small spring from the supplier.

Solid commuter or fitness bike – I bought a Tachyon 1.0 2010 from CBD Cycles in Kent St. I told Hugh (the owner) what I was looking for, and he sold me what I needed, not what he'd… Read more

thought I'd buy. Tyres were upgraded before it left the shop - and it included a three month checkup and introductory course to bike servicing.

Bang for buck, this is a great bike. GT used a sensible selection of components, using cheaper where appropriate (the 553 cranks are between Tiagra and 105) and higher-spec'd where needed (Ultegra Derailleur).

After 12 months and 1000s of km, the bike is going strong. The only downside are the wheels - but even the stock Shimano wheels on bikes twice this price are only give you a few thousand kms at best. You'll then either start stuffing around with them - upgrading the bearings and re-truing the rims - or buy something better. At least a wheel upgrade can be done without having to change anything else on the bike, and it's a purchase you can plan for. Value for money, reliability, light weight, solid components. Shimano's r500 wheels are cheap and nasty, but expected in this price range.
