No point asking me, I think triple triangles are pure marketing BS

Well, there you go, there is probably no sound design reasoning behind it.

GTs love going up hills. This is fact.

maybe i'm just over the hill i dunno =s.... i thought longer than nessisay s/stays would be heavier and not be as stiff as shorter ones... therefore goes up hills slower.
but what do i know im old and decrepid =/- necessary
I was just playing devils advocate and being as factual as Brass Eye.
Although based on running the GT (GTB Track) on the road it seriously does love going up hills, or maybe it just feels that way. Let us frolic in the beauty of the triple triangle and be happy about it.

The same question can be asked for off road and bmx frames. Were the extra number of joins, top tube through seat tube stuff actually needed for anything other than looks? Do standard frames have issues with seat tubes breaking or seat stays pulling out?

triple triangle , would only really make sense for a very tall frame. or if one wanted ones arse way over the back wheel.
id have well have one though, built up like that lovely yellow/black look from the sled thread, just cos of eddie fiola.

If you need to ask 'why triple triangle?' then you will just never get it. Everyone else rides one triangle down.

Seat tube is where half the flex from pedalling occurs, why would you need a thicker top tube?
