I missed a nearly new GT MTB on the local Craigslist today. I am a very big fan of the old triple triangle GT's and cried when they went out of business. The irony, at nearly the same minute that it was posted I noticed that the merry go round I was putting together was made by Pacific Cycle. F Pacific effing Cycle and their merry go round with what used to some of the best US made bike brands.

I bought my brother a brand new GT full suspension for his birthday, pre 2000, and ended up replacing the drivetrain because I rode it so much. The last year or so I have been in full on hunting mode for another one and nearly bought either a hardtail or a road bike to lessen the urges. My brothers GT was by far the best bike I have ever ridden and I will own another sometime soon.
