Real anorak question.

Why did the GT Ruckus have a flat cap on the end of the top tube ?
I thought this was reserved for Zasker & Xizangs made in US only.

gt ruckus, was that after the second or third bankruptcy/takeover? i dont think the new owners gave a sh!t about the hierarchy of the frames or their little differences. remember the zaskar was a 'cool urban commuter' at the time of the ruckus! :LOL:

the ruckus was the hardcore hardtail, so was really a descendant of the zaskar anyway.
 
I always thought the same. But the change in ownership/"bad" gt years probably explain it.

That looks quite nice actually. Like the chainstay bridge.

GT ZUM, first generation 2005 if I remember right. I've owned it since new and honestly couldn't have told you if the cap was curved or flat. But lookin at the pics, it looks flat. Proper little commuting bike in fantastic bright red. :)
