sounds about right for frame size, I would think they used the same headtubes for those frame sizes I mentioned previously. Price is a bit steep though.

It would be 14.5", 16" and 18" frames as they all had very short head tubes..

As per title (again) some nice forks found on eBay, they maybe of use to some GT fans here. GT Purple Haze rigid forks

As per title, found this on eBay just now, looks like it came from an early 90's GT Avalanche. GT 2x4 rigid forks

Just found this, I'd love to buy but I already have a number of GT's and not enough funding (at this moment) Looks nice though. GT Karakoram Elite on eBay

What on earth is that thing? That just looks silly!🫣

As per title, found this on FB marketplace, looks in decent condition for it's age, I wish I had the money.... GT Karakoram Elite

That paintwork is amazing, what else can I say? You certainly have more patience than I would have!

That is a nice looking bike, I have my GT Tempest built up like a cruiser, love those tyres too!

Just found this on eBay, my attention drawn to the unusual chain and modified dropouts to accommodate drum brakes... Seems quite pricey for what it is.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235493993663?Unusual GT Tequesta

I wish I had a spare 50 quid, but I have just spent it on the Fox Float's for my 2011 Zaskar, we can't have it all can we?

Okay, fair enough. My 1999 GT Tequesta has a 68mm BB. I recently replaced the bb on that too, so I know from measurement that it is 68mm and took a BB from my Mongoose IBOC PRO SX which is a 1996 model with a Ritchey steel frame.

Tange Prestige is still a steel frame, but a top quality one at that. Was it measured at 73mm BB width? If so, I stand corrected.

Here are my 3 GT bikes I currently own. 1/3 of all GT mtb's I owned since 1992 My GT's The Zaskar Sport has now had Fox Float RL100 and a 40mm riser bar fitted since this photo was taken.
