Light, stiff and agile. I'm a bigger rider and this bike just will not yield when I stand on it. Great acceleration and climbing ability. Great fork and stiff bottom bracket area. None to speak of unless you like a cushy ride.
Bike gives up a little comfort for a lot of speed.
Axial pro Michelin. The bike is a bargain for full Dura-Ace and Easton tubing. One look at the tricked out shape of the down tube will show the cutting edge frame technology GT is famous for. Standard coomponents, except for pedals. I've rode 600 miles in the past three week, and raced twice on it.
