Awesome design, great price, does not come as advertised. The website lists Shimano shifters and derailleurs with Tektro brakes, but when I went to pick it up in store, it had Microshift components and different brakes. It was the last one in inventory so the website link was taken down after I paid for it. When I complained, they couldn’t find the description and specs on REI online either and said I didn’t read the fine print, that it could come with either. They offered to install the components I wanted, but I would have to pay extra. The same 2021 GT Aggressor Expert is advertising from two other retailers with having Shimano and Tektro components, I could go elsewhere, but then I’d have to pay shipping. They said they could order one from a different location but couldn’t guarantee it would come with Shimano components, or pick out a different bike. It was the last day of the sale, selection was limited and I would have to make a choice that day. I ended up getting a CO-OP bike instead. Now, the link is back up, listing Shimano and Tektro components, with a disclaimer in the “fine print”.
