It was $45. I already have a decent bike ( 02' Marin Rocky Ridge frame, Judy C fork, Deore XT components, Mavic wheels, etc.) I was just looking for a decent (and cheap) frame to throw some extra parts onto (it's aluminum, so thats a plus). I have all the parts, and the time, and the know how, just not the frame. This seemed like a pretty fair deal, but I know nothing of the GT mountian bikes. Long time BMX rider, I had atleast 3 GT's of that variety, but never even rode a GT mountian bike. Thanks for the reply though.
