Visions of sugarplums

In the popular press, GT bikes just don't get the respect they deserve. They're sort of like the green felt on a pool table. While other flashier brands are busting out all over the table, GT is always there in the background, sort of setting the standards and the field. They had a brief moment in the limelight a few years back with the whole iDrive system, which was mechanically complicated and ultimately moot with the arrival of high quality anti-bob options like Pro Pedal and the Brain inertia valve.

Anyway, we thought we'd give them a little exposure, along with some rare coverage of women in our beloved sport with this video of Jill Kintner. (Check the viddy gallery at GT for more cool videos of folks like Brian Lopes, Andy Cosio, and others.)
