hey, first of all, tfunk, where did you find out about the frames, and maelstrom, you seem to be a very experienced mtb'er, so i wanted to know, im selling my outlook, because its had heaps of problems, so can you tell me a very good bike around the GT Avalanche 3.0 price range ($265 AUD)? Is the Avalanche 3.0 a good bike for the money.

Thanx
