The direct to consumer bike brands have outlets that resell bikes that have come back under their 30 day no-questions-asked policies. Usually pristine and you can save...

At that time it was listed at $1000 and had all Shimano drive, hydraulic brakes and 29" tires/wheels.
It was on sale for $500 so I bought it
Its been a great bike for most part
I ride the bike mostly on roads and replaced the tires with Sefas Drifters (the flimsy tires it came with even smelled bad).
I had an Iron Horse with mech, disc brakes before the GT.
I like the hydraulics much better but the mechanicals were great too compared to clinchers.
Most of all I like the GT frame - well built/configured and worth upgrading.
I'm 6' and bought the "L" size because "XL" is for pretty tall people.
I dont consider this a bike to jump off boulders with.
People are broke with maxed credit cards so sellers are probably building this model down
- The fork travel is only 80mm. That in itself isn't all that bad, as you might expect that on a cross country or gravel bike, but then you look at the 68.5 degree head tube angle and realize this frame is more tailored towards mountain biking making the 80mm travel seem odd.
- I like Microshift. I even like old school 3x drivetrains okay, but a 7x3 at this price range seems under-specced.
If someone fits the Kent Trouvalle, I'd probably choose that over this:
