I've been riding on GT's for 3 years now, but I've been waiting for a Force in a 27.5 or 29 to arrive. I love the GT iDrive and I hope they bring it into the new era with bigger wheel size for bigger guys.
The bikes looks have so many people "up in arms" - I like the way it looks. I agree that it's better than the current generation Force frame. I'd like to see the frame tubes much curvier or hydroformed though.
guess what my 2007 i drive 2.0 just showed a crack at the top tube near the head tube. I have never sold a bike, nor a part, now I have a bunch of stuff I don't need, or a whole bike that nobody wants to buy for a price I want to get before it had crack on the frame lawllawl.
I hope my Force won't have such problem. I think having a triangle design at the top front of any frame is a good thought. That point seems to really fuck up a lot of frames.
