What year is my GT Tequesta?!

[panaracersmoker]

Hello I've just signed up to the site...

Just picked up this GT Tequesta from rojo (thanks for a cool bike and a smooth exchange rojo!!)

I want to confirm the year of the bike, I think it's this 1998 model:

First thing I need is a new seatpin.

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT DIAMETER SEATPIN TO GET AND WHERE I CAN GET ONE?? - IDEALLY A DECENT PIN FROM BACK IN THE DAY!!

Also - just a shot in the dark - does anyone know whether I can get hold of an owners manual?

Happy New Year to everyone!

Over and out.

Glad you like it chap! Have to meet up for a ride in the new year.

Yup that's a 1998 model.
I've just given exactly the same frame in 20" to a mate, and then ended up building it up for him.
The colour is called 'Atomic Grape'. [See attachment]

I think the seatpost is either 30.2mm or 30.4mm from memory, so you'll probably be best off getting a shim.

As allready stated it's a '98. I would guess at 29.6mm for the seatpost as thats what the '99 Reynolds 525 tubed bikes used.

Fantastic! Cheers for the prompt response guys!

Confirmed 29.6 for the pin - going to post up a request in the 'wanted' forum, if anyone knows where I can pick one up please let me know.

ps all good cheers rojo, def up for a blat in the new year! Take it easy
