Awesome! Did you have trouble setting it up single speed? With chainline and crank arm / ring clearance...
Also did you confirm your 26.2 seatpost? Think mines that too but the measurement from the calipers varies quite a lot depending on where I measure it from.
MCamb-
Singlespeeding it was no problem at all. I just used a regular 135mm cassette rear wheel and some spacers and eyeballed the correct chainline. I may even have measured it, don't quite remember.
26.2 was the correct seatpost, but that varies. Try googling a datasheet of your specific model, GT went through quite a few sizes.
I actually still ride this with the crap seatpost and the ultra-high stem. oddly comfortable.

I have a GT Timberline in the same colorway. Makes for an awesome city bike.
Bulletproof it is.
