having it light
Review of GT Outsport FS by
sk8rman
Advantages: well light
Disadvantages: none
...The GT outpost
I like this this bike and so do my mates. I've owned one for 3 years now so I now what it's all about.
Now if your a beginer this just mite be the frame for you it is well light plus strong and like all GT's you can trust it.
I say a 14 inch frame would be a good idea because it alows you to do trials,jumping and showing of.
You will need forks I say about 85mm or just a pair of light ridged forks
or just use anything.
A good pair of v brakes I would not use disc brakes.
A strong rim will do the trick.
Now this bike is also well priced and does it's job well....

Great Bike, Good Money,
Review of GT XCR 3000 '99 by

Advantages: Great bike, excellent looks
Disadvantages: Price
...You look at the bike and you are already stunned, the looks on this bike are amazing. For the price (£1300 r.r.p) you could expect a little more. With its combination of Shimano Alivio cranks and Deore LX rear mech, the price could easily include an upgrade of these. Brakes, Avid 1.9, have amazing stoppage, and with one tab on the brake, you are already over the front! Much from this there are lots of little features on the bike which really make it come alive: Rock Shox Judy 100 front suspension forks, Rock Shox deluxe back suspension and 6061 butted hadle bars. The bike comes in a choice of colours, either GT HOT white or GT Mango. It is also in a choice of sizes: s,m,l/. The bike should be classed as a Cross Country Racer come Downhiller. The fork absorb anything thrown at them with the 100 mm of travel, same as the 4.6 inch of soft...
