jcvwburger Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 @ 40K a bit steep! but some seriously nice eye-candy!
The expat cyclist Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Frame is bietjie bland...Gaaaaaaaaap...
rock Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 actually not that bad value when you compate to what roadies spend......its still 1/2 the price of other brand's top end hardtails (cannondale for example)
Vinnydabutcher Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 That is a Crank Brother`s Cobalt Wheelset - Very Pritty Talk to Shamus - I saw he has a few sets of these in stock.
mtgoat Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Has an old school look about the frame....I like
Daniel XTR Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Eish, that makes my 2010 Zaskar Pro "old" and out of Date. For sale R50.00incl
Moolz Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 According to Fritz Pienaar - all the frames were going to be replaced - with a completely new design...They actually have a few 2011 Avalanches there... However these GTs still look awesome...
Caerus Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Eish, that makes my 2010 Zaskar Pro "old" and out of Date. For sale R50.00incl   Done, I'll take it - PM sent

GLuvsMtb Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 So what's changed from the 2010, 2009, 2008 frame? Pardon my ignorance, but they all look the same.
covie Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 lol morewoodmad i am with you 100% there is a thread here where they were pulling frames form the early 90's and the bike still looks exactly the same. I think i am actually going to apply to be a frame engineer at GT can have myself one very long relaxed paid holiday.
Weight Weenie Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 New clear coating/resin, frames are 300g lighter (now around 1,1kg for a M)Internal cable routing and the rear triple triangle had a slight re-design. They wont change the look because that is their trademark zaskar design.I'm glad they actually improved the spec Formula R1 brakes for one, much nicer than XTR they had before.
KnobbyMech Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 The frame is interesting but ugly. A white or black with that gloss finish would look awesome. Even a Raleigh would look good with all those specs.
KnobbyMech Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 O, and it's the 1st GT that I see without Kendas. Now that may be a step in the right direction.
