So it looks like they made a bit of a change & combined the 'goose team to make a bigger GT Team...

GT "NEW" Team Roster
- Thread starter Dylan Dean
- Start date
I'm happy for Mick, but sad for Bryn.
I will be looking for forward to seeing Mick on the Fury. Is there any word on a hookup for Bryn yet?
It would have been good to see both guys on the same team, because I feel that neither of them are yet to fulfull their potential, and they might have been able to push each other. That and they're both Cairns boys!

EC is back to WC circuit????!!!!
spoke to bryn the other day. so far nothing lined up for this season.
shocking! Bryn is still a top 10 WC guy when he's on. he had a bit of bad luck this past season... but still should be a top contender. i hope someone brightens up & gives him a ride!

guess not. it says in the PR that Mick will be riding the fury. so i'm guessing the same for EC
anybody see what kind of bike e.c. was racing on @ the winter series this past weekend ?
Is Romo still riding for Mongoose or have they shed their sponsored riders completely?
According to the Mongoose blog EC rode a prototype Goose at Fontana last weekend.
Kinda funny Mick goes from Dorel company to another.

nope, we are now running the full GT line up!
Is Mongoose abandoning their high end bikes?

not planning on it...
Mega Avalanche,Downieville, Ashland 12mile DH type events will be my main focus this year with select events like US Open and Crankworx for fun.
also planning some cool road trips to hit cool ride spots and some of the GT dealers, we still haven't decided on the route's yet
Good for you!
youve been there for along time and sometimes change is good! Hope to see good things for you in the future!
nope, we/ now they actually are hard at work on some cool stuff and they still have Romo and Garett Buehler flying the flag.
are we going to see this again? break out the old i-drives or maybe even the lobos 
Seems like yesterday, huh Luke?are we going to see this again? break out the old i-drives or maybe even the lobos
oh man, i had that exact same setup, right down to the shoes. none of it lasted verry long: jesey cut cut off me by the medics, shoes craked in half, and the lobo's bushings (no bearnings yet) wore out in one mudy ride. i remember shimming them with beer cans in my dorm room freshman year to keep the back end from moving side-to-side more than it moved up and down.
ahh, the good old days
*however, those may have been the most bomb-proof pedals ever made

I still use those pedals today.
George, what are you doing riding clipped in?
i found a set in my basement last week. wow it does seem like yesterday.
?????
I've got at last 6 sets of those. I used to buy them off kids at the bikeshop. Give them a "new" set of 646's and some cash. Suckers.
In a day and age when companies are looking for ways to save money while still putting out a quality product why not combine the efforts of GT and Mongoose from a management stand point all the way down to R&D. It would primarily be a business decision, but the benefit (Re: cost and product quality) could be passed down to the consumer. They're already very intertwined... at the top of it all they are owned by the same company and at the base they essentially use the same suspension design. Maybe that's the next step... I selfishly hope the Tribe isn't negatively effected by this.

I still have that GT jersey in mint condition in my garage. They should do a retro jersey for the race team at a few races this year.
I want to see pictures of the full 2009 factory GT Fury.
looks like EC's learning curve on his new ride was quite short!
