The GT is a 24" BMX, so no different to any of the 24" MTB's on the market regarding fitting girly zebadee forks. wink
The angles on the GT look soooo wrong I bet it rides like a Chopper, best to stick to an MTB frame designed with front suspension in mind or run very low bounce forks not the motorcross style triple clamps on the GT. wink

those bike has BMX style rear end and designed for 24" to 26" wheels
but everything else is same as per on MTB, but rear wheel is set differently, it has bmx style rear hub.

My bike has disc brakes and single chain, best of both world smile
