Hello all,
I brought a GT Avalanche 1.0 2009 a week back from paulscycles, I brought it on the cyclescheme from my employer and I am so far very happy with the service from both cyclescheme and paulscycles aswells as the great performance of the bike.
I have been out alot in the last week as was mostly on the road. But at the weekend I thought it would be a great idea to hit the dirty stuff! I headed up to the forest for a couple of hours blast around. There isn't much up there and it's mostly flat but up and down a few ditches and over some logs was enough for me.
I also thought it was a good idea to get some pictures of the bike to show all you
After riding in the damp grass and mud I found the SPD pedels to be very slippery as I don't have any SPD shoes. So I brought some White Wellgo V8 Copy's, will post more pictures once arrived and fitted. I also brought some White DMR Lock-On Grips as I thought this would look good with the White and black theme. I will also post some more pictures onces these have arrived and fitted.
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers
Scott

Nice looking bike, have heard some good things about the GT avalanche 1.
Keep getting it dirty, MTB's love it0 -
Looks a cracking bike. I'm a big GT fan. I have an Avalanche 1.0 that I'm just starting to use more.
I should post pics of mine headed 'What happens when you buy a bike and stick it in a garage for 6 years' :oops:0 -

Can I add a chapter about what happens if you leave one in there for 9 years? :oops:
As it's been said - I really like GT's. Shame I got a Trek a few years ago really. Making up for it now though!

Thanks for the comments:)
I havent got to ride it this week or fit the new bits. But I'm sure I will be out alot this weekend and ill be getting some more pictures of the new white parts
I also went to Aldi yesterday and picked up some glasses, water bottle, underwear and the computer they had on offer for the sum of £15 somthing, so the water bottle and computer need to be fitted too.0
