Maybe. But Pubes already sent me a rack so I’m going to fuck around with that one first.
RIP GT. They should have hired tarckbear consulting.
Came to post this.
I was thinking about selling my Zaskar frame but maybe I’ll hold on to it a bit longer.
I’ve said it before, but brands like this need to just shut down for a couple years and come back with a super lean line.
Zaskar in two spec. 10s cues Judy and 12s Deore XT mix Psylo
Tachyon two spec. Flat bar cues and drop bar Apex. (Throw thru axles on a weekender and be done with it)
Pulse tracklocross/urban fixed Mash Work clone
Edge alloy gravel race bike
Super simple. Easy to pitch to shops like mine.
Hey @ProCracknfailBro who should I send the PowerPoint to?
tarck consulting llc
The 5 SKU approach will kill for Fisher to shartmo
I also wish more brands had fewer bikes. Cut the bloat and stick to what’s good.
Just saw a YT vid about this, came to post, of course tarck llc is already on it.
Honestly I consider myself a bike nerd and I thought GT hadn’t existed since the 90s
“GT still makes bikes?”

“Oh they aren’t real ones”

This happened multiple times.
That will be in the black, but my guess is it won’t have the margin the needed to feed the private equity/VC beast…hence they stick their neck out with more SKUs.
cursed image discovered on reddit:
180mm IS-to-IS adapter with a +20mm IS-to-flat adapter stacked on top of it, all to use an Aliexpress mechahydro caliper on a 200mm rear rotor.
Who needs a 200mm rear rotor on a road bike? I have 180mm rotors front and rear on my MTB and not once have I thought “hmm I need more brake”
@BicyclePears see?
I had a real hard time selling GT when they were sitting next to a Giant or Cannondale with similar or better parts, but $100-$200 more expensive.
I mean I had a hard time selling entry level hardtails anyways but still.
I hate it, but it’s an epic kludge.
truly the worst of both worlds
if it’s anything like a cetma: it probably doesn’t feel stable
