Nice bike by the way. I just miss seeing the GT Triple Triangle frame design like in years past. Been a Bike Mechanic way too long....LOL
Thanks! When I went shopping for the new bike I looked at a lot of the usual suspects... Specialized, Trek, Diamond Back, etc... GT never even crossed my mind... Shop owner pulled this one out and said give it a try.. was a little bit above my budget but thought what the heck... Took it around the block and I was in love! Was exactly what I was looking for and the fit was absolutely perfect! In fact it is one of the best bikes I've even owned (and I've owned a few... LOL)

As for the heat... I love the heat! Thins my oil out and makes my engine run easier!
