I think the rear dropout design looks a bit suspect, like it could crack the frame tube at the weld quite easily. But I've been wrong before. Thoughts boys and girls?

I like i :)

I Jo riding the proto for GT then? Be awesome to see a big bike manufacturer producing a trials frame.

The drop out area does look a little suspect, does anyone know if Kenny has killed one yet?

Intrigued to find out a few more details about it geo, weight, material etc.

No I meant a proper retail spec bike, more to see what kind/brand of parts they would use for a build assuming they go for that option

Good shout that Dave, be interesting to see specs and prices etc. A big company like GT getting involved can only be a good thing, plus I think it would get trials noticed a lot more, as most mtbers have heard of GT, and a lot started out on one. I had an old school zaskar back in the day

the triple triangle is there again too,just in a slightly different approach ;)

since gt was bought by the dorel group they suffered on a bit of mainstream fever imo,would be really a good thing for trials,and they´d be more like a "rider aimed" brand again,as that image was lost over the last years.

looking forward to get some geo info

With Koxx's bankruptcy being blamed on expensive prototype research it'll be good to see if GT can bring anything new to the board being a much larger outfit.

Prototyping stuff is expensive, but them blaming going into liquidation on it is pretty laughable. Anyways, when I saw photos of Kenny's bike it didn't look particularly nice, but in person it's not so bad. Those drop chainstays make chain clearance suuuuper tight though.

I agree about the yellow one, but it pretty decent in chrome with those stickers. Very 'classic' GT.

they seem to be 2 different frames for me, yellow has a "seatpost" the other one has fancy double triangle.. maybe geo is the same?
