To clarify, GT has never been sold in Wally World. They were dealing with big box sporting goods stores but just stopped that practice and returned to IBD distribution.
If memory serves, Fuji is partially owned by Ideal, which makes bikes for Trek, Schwinn, and many others. Therefore, they are in pretty good shape...
