Great job! Post specs please.

There are a fair few on this site who are going to be quite envious of you having this, i'd say!

Killer.
One day these will be very sought after, probably getting that way already.
Gear box bikes were the next big thing a few years ago (some said)
I like the idea.
How does it ride?

Yep!
I was looking for one of these for ages and nobody wanted to sell me one!

They look in very good condition

The first thing you notice is that it's quiet, when shifting, when ploughing through rough stuff. Shifting is seamless, the gears mesh rather than shift, so its instantaneous. I haven't had a lot of time on the bike, mainly putting it together, adjusting and what not.
My mates IT1 (Marz version) is brand new, it has never been ridden, mine (fox version) has had very little use.

I had one of these as my first DH bike. So sick. Never had to do a thing to it.

What's the story behind the Marz version? Is it an oem spec by GT?

I found the looong chainstay length would catch me out off drops a fair bit, couple of painful lessons learnt there.

Interesting to see these around is such mint condition. Enjoy the indestructive-ness!

I'm not really sure if they did, my mate bought it from os. Seeing as though GT only made 200 IT1's in 2006 and 100 in 2007, its unlikely. I've only seen the 06 versions in Australia.

I know the guy who owns the Marz version, he is one of the best riders I have ever seen, pure talent!..

They look awesome! I always wanted one of them, and a couple of extra pairs of the Boxxer Rides they came with one year, as much as I'm not a huge fan of RS.

Theres a brand newie 2006 for sale in a bike shop in Rotovegas,think they wanted about NZ$4000.
I'm sure theres a conspiracy against gearboxes,not like deraileurs are perfect.

That blue IT1 could of been a color option in Europe, not really sure. I have seen a fair few grey 2007 both here and os. I've only ever seen a blue pic of the IT1 at interbike.
