My seventy-something neighbor gave me this old GT that was hanging in his garage because it's tall frame fit me well. I was wondering what year it was so I looked at the number on the bottom-bracket and it says T8711 and 0099.
The history of GT bicycles I found in a few places on the web says that " In November of 1987 GT showed its first line of 5 mountain bikes at the young Interbike Show in Reno, Nevada."
Okay, I just found another "history" that says they started mountainbikes in 1984, but they also sold 26" bmx bikes. So I guess more research is needed for sure......
Anyway the price was right!
