    I had a GT Avalance 2.0 a few years ago and I loved it, it was absolutely bombproof. I mean it, nothing actually ever went wrong with it! Great bikes GT, just make sure you actually need Large or X Large because thats the only sizes CRC have available and don't buy the wrong size just because it's cheap. Not a good idea! Haha :D

    Good luck,
    H:B ;)

    It's been a long time since I bought a mountain bike (I don't even have disc brakes!), but the
    GT Avalanche 3.0 Disc - Hydraulic 2010     is showing as €466.16.

    I'm assuming the GT 3.0 is better than the GT 1.0 and that 2010 is better than 2009, though I haven't looked at the spec.

    DFD.
