This is for my 2009 GT Marathon Carbon Expert full-suspension MTB (size M). I bought it brand new this past spring and have put all of 37.6mi on it since then, all on dry road (the bike has never seen any dirt/trails). So the reason for selling should be pretty clear: my heart just isn’t in mountain biking. Needless to say, and as is evident from the pics, the bike is **completely mint/like new and comes with all original factory spec and accessories (literature, Crank Bros eggbeater pedals and cleats). **The frameset features a stunning red/nude carbon combination color scheme and would be perfect for Xterra racing.
Detailed info about the bike (including geometry, sizing, componentry, and retail pricing) can be found here and here. I am 5’11" with a 32" inseam, and the bike fit like a glove. It will accommodate riders from 5’10" to about 6’1".
This particular case of equipment overkill cost me $2,200 plus tax and shipping. I am willing to let it go for $1700 with FREE SHIPPING in CONUS, and on top of this I will include a brand new Manitou shock pump! If you are looking for a high-end carbon MTB, this is your chance. **GT no longer makes this particular model, and whatever new old stock is left over does not include size M (sold out). **So get your Santa on the phone and take this off my hands before I change my mind and decide to give MTB riding another shot this coming year.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Many thanks for looking.
