GT was too, but I understand they've changed hands a few times since then, and now back to being a higher end brand.
I'm pretty sure GT is still owned by Pacific Cycles. I went on to GT's website and to the "Careers" section just out of curiosity, and that link directed me straight to Cannondale. I believe GT, Cannondale, Mongoose, and Schwinn are all owned by Pacific Cycles/Dorel Industries.
