covered by this limited warranty, but are separately covered by
the stated warranty of their manufacturer.
TERMS OF LIMITED WARRANTY: This limited
warranty is not meant to suggest or imply that the bicycle
cannot be broken or will last forever. It does mean that the
bicycle is covered subject to the terms of the limited warranty.
This limited warranty applies only to the original owner of a
GT bicycle and is not transferable to subsequent owners.
For any warranty claim to be considered, the bicycle must be
brought in to an Authorized GT Bicycle Retailer on the same
continent on which the bicycle was purchased. The bicycle

neglect, improper repair, improper maintenance, alteration,
modication, an accident or other abnormal, excessive, or
improper use.
This limited warranty applies only to bicycles purchased in
fully assembled and adjusted condition from Authorized GT
Retailers or other outlets specically authorized by GT to
distribute GT bicycles.
Damage resulting from normal wear and tear, including the
results of fatigue, is not covered. Fatigue damage is a symptom
of the frame being worn out through normal use. It is one kind
of normal wear and tear, and it is the owner’s responsibility to
inspect his/her bicycle. See Section 5. and D.

and paying for components is the responsibility of the bicycle

This Limited Warranty gives the consumer specic legal rights.
The consumer may also have other legal rights which vary from
state to state or country to country. Some states and countries
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
