Bike Barn Find

1995 GT Tempest.
Never thought I would see one of these, again.

 

Nice ride
I have a 1988 GT Karakoram Now retired to France for use two weeks a year. It’s still mint in a triggers broom kind of way

 

Cool, yeah, I have a ‘92 outpost a ‘96 Pantera ballburnished aluminium,a 2004 Agressor 2.0 and this one.
I seem to be collecting GT’s!

 

I have a 2003 (I think) GT Avalanche 1.0



I got it new. Great bike

Picture stolen of the internet.... but mine is exactly the same

 

GT are a good make.

 

I would like an original, for the back of my van, as GT started in 1972. ‘Period piece’.

 

I had a GT Pro 4 in 1985. Took me years of paper rounds to buy that bike.

If you weren’t sponsored you rode GT in the 8o’s, BMX wise there wasn’t much to touch them....maybe a Haro if you did tricks.


I thought their first mountain bikes were seen as OK....their race BMX’s always had a low top tube and a relatively high bottom bracket which helped positioning them (you could really lean them in corners), their mountain bikes seemed to have a pretty traditional frame geometry.

I still have my Kona Kula from 1997, I’ll dig it out and take a pic.

 

Cool. I would like to see that. Love the old mountain bikes.

 

I got one a bit like that




Ozziedog,,,,, all original even the tyres.

 

Had one of these for about 8 years until the frame parted from the forks. Reynolds 531.

 

What is it?

 

Sorry Dawes Mean Street. Had shimano XT and soft touch brakes. A proper GTI of its day.

 

I had one of these in 1971

 

Me too...in ‘78.
Had a head on with a Ford Escort van, on it, at the age of 10.

 

I’m still plodding on my Peugeot if anyone is wondering
