GMC Roadbike?
Anyone ever heard of this brand. I was up at Wal-Mart the other day and saw one chained up outside. It caught my eye as most bikes do. It didn't really look high end as it had no STI, but grip shifters on the top of the bars. It also had lower end shimano drive train. Still, might be a good choice for a commuter, or a bike that one has to leave locked up alot.

Pontiac and Chevrolet both make one that looks just exactly it but with a different grill.

It's highly recommended that you get this bike and post pics of you riding it.

I wouldnt buy it. I seen my 3rd junked one today. Forks were bent backwards but the front rim had next to no damage. Not only were they bent but they were cracked on the front. In other words they came very close to breaking off out right. I have a hard time pictureing a crash that would crack and bend forks with out damaging the wheel. Now on a old schwinn i had the forks break loose at the crown when i hit the front breaks but that bike was a rusted out heap. It worries me that a bike that could not be more than a couple months old having the forks crack mid way from hitting the breaks.
Spend 250 on a used bike from ebay or 350 for a motobecane from ebay youll be much much happier. Im not so much directing this at any poster in this topic but any one who reads about these bikes on these forums. GMC denalis are made by kent and are as low end as you can get.
