Thought I missed out on this one having missed the end of the auction but messaged the seller only to find out that the high bidder was slow paying and that the bike had a mate. This was originally one of a his and hers pair. I got the widows after her local bike shop had listed and sold the husbands.
This was GT's top of the line model in 1988. Everything on the bike is original except the saddle. This bike has some interesting features. Component colors are unique as GT talked many of the component companies into doing special colors on most of the components. Suntour did the derailleur bodies and shift levers in White with Anthracite gray hubs, pedal bodies, derailleur pivots and clamps. Dia Compe did the AD992 u-brakes and 290 levers in matching Anthracite. SR did the GT Power Series crank and spider in white also. Tange did the Levin CD headset in anthracite.
