GT Transeo...what's with the brakes?
Seriously.
In the specs for the transeo 1 and 2 they do not specify the brakes.
They simply say "Shimano hydraulic disc brakes" Kinda makes one think
that they will install whatever they can pick up on the cheap that month.
I'm not liking this. It does not inspire confidence in the company's approach to bike building.

Shimano's hydros are pretty nice. Unless you're looking at an Xmart bike whose parts just say 'Shimano',I wouldn't worry about it. You could also prolly look up better specs on GT's own website.
