GT Marathon

Apologies if this is a repost, but my search skills on here are shocking even after a years use :shock:

I was just doing a bit of browsing of various manufacturers websites to see what I can buy in spring 2010 and came across the new GT Marathon Carbon :shock:

Wowowowowow!

Any ideas on the cost of the frame alone?

Not sure of frame only availability - Hotwheels might have some. I don't think you'd get much change from 1500 quid though.

It is the same frame as used on the beas model though:

May be worth getting and selling parts you don't want.

Good idea - although those team colours are bloody lovely!

I do like that red and grey though!

Have you seen the Gt Sensor 2.0?

gcwebbyuk

No not yet.

Just like the silver grey and carbon - looks classy but bling too!

Have emailed Hotwheels to see about price / availability.

I don't really need a new frame (not at all really!) just fancy something new for 2010!

Looking forward to some spring test rides

Have a look in the CrudCatcher section at the Kleenex thread ;-)

Nice

Think I only really need a 100mm bike for the kind of riding I do / would do - south downs.

My balls are too small for the kind of riding that would warrant anything with more travel.

I don't really need a FS just fancy a change and to treat myself, if not it will be a carbon HT - would have loved that carbon zaskar frame you bought, I missed out on those!

Well I emailed em and this is the reply

Hi,

Thanks for your email.

Unfortunately we will not be importing the GT Marathon Carbon Team as a complete bike or a Frame only this year. We are only importing the GT Marathon Carbon Expert complete bike early next year which will be £2499.99.

Sorry for any disappointment.

Thanks again.

Best Regards
