Nice! I just picked up the same bike. Which tires did you put on yours?

Got this GT Grade Sport during their big going out of business sale. It’s been assembled and waiting on me in the garage, and today was the maiden voyage! I got this rig to get some miles outside of mountain biking, but after one ride I’m hooked! Oh, these mechanical brakes are garbage.
I know this isn’t a spectacular bike by any means, but it fit the bill for me and I think it’ll be a blast for anyone similar
So far I’ve converted to tubeless and am running the 700x45c Pirelli Cinturato tires. Pedals are some HT AR06 flat pedals. I have some of the 5mm thick Wolf Tooth Components bar tape to add as well!
If you have any recommendations for improving cheap mechanical brakes let me know!

TLDR; new bike, it’s fun. Doesn’t stop well
