Not really a fan of GT, but I quite like the look of that (aside from the brakes ;)
Still looking for a suitable frame set, trying to get a friend's husband to part with a Kona Explosif, I will wear him down eventually.
@Technics100 that Pug is rather bloody lovely.

You would not be disappointed with old steel MTB as your only bike, especially if you don't do tarmac-only centuries, but prefer a bit of shoddier terrain.
I built one a few years ago, inspired by xbiking movement — GT Tequesta. Rolled like a dream, was pretty comfortable (although I went with flatbar, those old MTBs are awfully long) and stopped on a dime — DBAD crowd, please stop reading here: got some PM bosses welded on and put downhill brakes. Couldn't find anything good to mount as a rear brake — u-brake standard. Who knew that Maguras fit there?
Ok, DBAD people, you can come back, too bad that the post is over.
