Lol, well always here to help  :smiley:.

Looks like a good base for 100 notes, frame is disc conpatable so I'd say get it, then when you want to upgrade, new forks, wheels (or just hubs) and disc brakes, and it'll feel like a whole new bike.

Good luck :afro:

Cheers bud, I thought that too.  I've always been a big fan of GT, good quality cheaper bikes.

Should I be able to fit pretty much any forks at a later date?

Cheers, would like to consider changing is to that set-up where you have gears at the back, but just the one cog thingy at the front.

Apparently he's about 5;10" and it's just the right size.  working on the assumption that being only an inch or two taller won't make much difference  :grin:
