nice. can anyone shed light on the rationale GT might have had for putting the cro mo rear end on these? it seems like a really incongruous thing to do..

I'll go with, "They needed to figure out a new, completely non functional, marketing-friendly design hook so they could sell more frames."

:D :LOL:
 
Finally found a GT Viscount seat. Oddly, it wrinkled a bit when I mounted it. Possibly tweaked rails, but it looks nice and straight on the post. Off to Google to sus out how to shrink/tighten the leather.

prob very close to the truth! as the triple triangle itself was also born as a marketing gimmick as much as anything functional..
