I also rode a low end GF hard tail for a while. It wasn't really the frame that was the problem, it was the low end components. I had to replace derailleurs, I actually broke one of the brake arms, and my wheels had to be constantly retrued. And that's the price you pay for getting a low end bike :shrug:
