Keep an eye on that head tube. I have the same bike but with different colored graphics. The bottom front of the head tube developed a crack, dead center. No evidence of abuse either. Maybe it got jumped off of a curb too hard or something. My theory is that GT had too much head tube below the down tube in front, and that allowed it to flex and crack. Not saying there's anything wrong with yours, just keep a lookout and catch it early. I think I'm going to have mine repaired at some point, and have a gusset added between the head and down tubes.,,,,BD
