Definately DO NOT GET THE GT! Gt's are horrible. I know someone here with that same one and he has had it for only a month and has broken 4 things. I have a Bruiser 2, and it's ok, although, I get a lot of flats and I recently destroyed my back end. I have a friend with the Bruiser 1 and he's had fewer problems than I have. Although, the Shred looks like a really good bike as well.
