I read on one mountain bike site that GT was going to be bought out by Huffy. I just want to know if anyone else has heard this and if it is even true

GT/Schwinn is the same company and they will probably end up in receivership by the fall.

Don't buy anything from them unless you don't care about not having a warranty.

Well if you want some good bikes for less then 1000$, look for some ORYX bikes, they are made in quebec and are damn cheap for the qualitie, youn can get and all XTR oryx bike for 2000$

the sale isn't close to final yet, huffy, pacific and I believe the company that makes nautilus machines all are fighting for schwinn/GT. it is likely that they will use the schwinn name to sell bikes in places like wal-mart, and don't know waht they will do with GT. If you want to stay under $1000 I would stay with hartails. specialized, gary fisher, jamis, Giant, kona all have nice bikes in this price range.
