that GT….christ almighty she’s not a looker is she?
The fact I’m more disturbed about the GT than a pair of grips for £99 says just how fugly it is!
Glad to see I’m not alone in thinking that GT is fugly as hell!
Flesh wall tyres don’t help, but that GT looks like it could have come from a 1997 MBR group test (including the local quarry landscape)
I only came here to join in the abuse of the GT’s looks – is it that ugly in real life or is it a ginormous bike?
Skinwalls coming back? Noooooooooo…..
Nice intro guys…. Barneyesque…. well done.
Blimey Kate Tempest is good.
But it’s ok, I can have £99.99 grips.
the only positive for that GT is you could probably fit a full size high strength bottle of cider in that frame,
In a normall sizes I quite like the new GT’s the force LTS in factory blue looks sweet!
“The 506 represents a bit of a departure for Rad8 and is their first half frame design.”
not really, they came out with a half frame originally along side the full frame, i’ve got a red lens and blue lens pair
Lose the skinwalls change the colour ,maybe then not so bad? Ok bad GT is lost
Can I be a voice of dissent at say that I really quite like the look of the GT. Sorry 🙂
I’m with you nanny, and usually I’m not a fan of skin wall tyres and long rockers.
The colour of the GT isn’t doing it any favours, looks much better in some of the other options.
What’s really p’d me off though is that I’ve been trying to get hold of a Sensor for 2 months now but keep getting told that none of the carbon frame will be available to buy in the UK until ‘some time in January’ and the alloy framed version (I’m actually after the AL Comp) won’t be available until middle of March.
What’s the point in plugging bikes that can’t be bought????
GT haven’t made a decent bike since the late 80’s, but even taking that into account, that is an absolute minger
The Giant helmet is on a par with the Sensor for being beaten with the ugly stick
