Looking to get my first road bike. Had it narrowed down to a Defy 2 or A GT GTR Series 2.
Went to LBS looked around a noticed an older model GTR Series 2, with a mostly 105 setup (minus breaks, and possibly the crankset) , carbon forks, carbon Ritchey seatpost, etc... http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=2008&Brand=GT&Model=GTR+Series+Two&Type=bike
Breaks and bar appear unbranded as well.
They have it for $999. They also have one a size larger, but minus the carbon forks (in front and back), is this a different year, midyear switch? Otherwise they are identical.
Anyone have experience with this GT bike (w/ carbon forks), and would you consider it for the money? Or would you go with a 2011 Defy 2, $969. I'm going back to ride both. However I was unable to find anything out about the 2008 GTR, any help is appreciated. Thanks,
