Cycho Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 oh man did GT do a good job when they finally replaced it!!! Took her out for her first ride this morning in SS style... Chromo frame, sliding dropouts, tapered headtube... and rides beautifully! I am in love Ryanpmb, TYGA, Decapod_Crew and 1 other 4
DJR Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 I love that your bike is pointing in the opposite direction to the "easier way", brilliant!
Cycho Posted December 9, 2012 Author Posted December 9, 2012 Ha ha @DJR - glad you noticed! If you know how hard i had to hunt for a sign that actually pointed in that direction, they all seemed to point the other way!
Smartie Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Very nice! Been looking into SS frames. Did not know GT had one. If I may ask, how much was the frame?

Cycho Posted December 9, 2012 Author Posted December 9, 2012 @Smartie - its a 2013 bike, but as far as I am aware, this is the only bike that was brought into the country as a sample. For some reason the bike is not yet even up on the GT site for next year.
Cycho Posted December 9, 2012 Author Posted December 9, 2012 Got the bike as a whole bike... its actually not SS specific - can run gearing as well, as it has a der hangar on the sliding dropout. I would hope that if enough people asked, the guys at Omnico may be able to make a plan at getting a few more...

pista Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Very nice bike but only for selected markets. http://www.gtbicycles.com/bel/2013/bikes/mountain/trail/kashmir-niner-1-0
Stretched@Birth Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 On 12/9/2012 at 4:32 PM, shaper said: Similar to the on one inbredSimilar in that they are both bicycles? The Inbred has track ends, with a derailleur hanger, the GT has sliding dropouts. Big difference is the brake caliper also moves when you move the wheel, which the Inbred does not do, which necessitates an adjustment of the caliper. I know a few Peace riders who will be having a little pants moment when they see this!

Only a certain range is available to the South African public. SS and AM is still seen as a niche market and the focus is still on marathon/xc events (my opinion)
rock Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 okay, I want that..... seriously, loved my old Peace......29" wheels right?
