As much as I'm trying to like GT I just can't, just had too much drama with the frames and Omnico.

But these use a new layup/clear coat so should be fine.

 

Did ride a Marathon model once, felt like a couch to me, hope these are more racy.

I was contemplating wether I should comment or not, cause I don't want to cause a bad vibe, then decided I will keep it clean : Not a good looking bike at all, GT failed terribly with that shock in mid air! And by the way, the wheels are to small, 3 inches to small.

Looks like the old Anthem. Meaning that it should perform pretty well then. Water bottle cage still a problem?

Have you ridden one? If not how have they failed? If it is an assumption, then we may assume your member is 3 inches too small then, maybe. But I guess we all have opinions.

The bottle cage goes under the top tube, same place as post 2009 Marathon frames, quite a nice place, but can be a pain when changing the settings on the shock, that's what I find with my Marathon.
