Just ordered a Avalanche 3.0 from ChainReactionCycles last night - I’ve had the 1.0 for about a year and when the missus wanted an upgrade I did the decent thing and offered to sell her Bike and let her have mine..

the 1.0 sure is a great bike for light riding - but I can’t WAIT to get my filthy mittens on the 3.0 version. Althought I’ve paid about 520usd for the bike (they’re dearer in Europe than in the states) I get the feeling I’ll still be chuffed to bits.

i just bought a GT avalanche 3.0 2008 few weeks ago, and it feels great riding it…
i have no problme with the shimano alivio gearshift what so ever, and it comes with trigger on each handle bar for u to switch up n down…i must say is a breeze to shift

although the frame is not light, but it aint heavy also..n is very strong. i must say is a value for money

I’m wondering the same thing as Jeff. I purchased my bike at Copeland’s Sports, but they went out of business a couple months after I got my bike.

Hello,

I just read your article and was wondering, how does one get or “cash in” the GT Warranty? The place I bought it from went out of business. And GT doesn’t deal direct with warranty issues.

Any info would be well appreciated.

Thanks for your time,
Jeffrey.

Hi! I cracked my frame one day ago. But i’v been jumping it and stuff, pullin it upp in 90cm Bunnyhops.. So it’s not so weard. But it stills sucks.

What kind of wheels have you all used when you replaced the stock avalanche wheels. I too am searching for new wheels for an avalanche. Suggestions appreciated. Please email jaw2001@erols.com

I have an avalanche 3.0 also and I also have a problem with the gear shifter trigger,the rear derailer,and the rims bending quite easily.

I have a GT Palomar thats basically the same bike as the Avalanche. I love my bike, i’ve ridden quite a few trails since i bought it, and its held up great. But Tim is right about the shifters and the rim bending, same problem here, but other than that, i don’t have much to complain about.
