Re: 1993 ? GT Psyclone Dream Project
The Psyclone frame shown is a 1994 model year frame. I have a 16" yet to be built in the same color with the same decals.

Frame looks great...congrats on catching your unicorn.
I built mine up as a single speed, and really like it, but if I ever luck into a nice XTR group, it will definitely get it's gears on.

Re: 1994 GT Psyclone Dream Project
Gorgeous frames these, its backs up the USA heritage the company boasted.
As for the XT parts, that is 1994 vintage anyway & a lovely groupset. Get the STI's, canti's, hubs & cranks to match. With some Ritchey or Tioga amberwalls it would look fab, maybe some Mag 21's for dry days? LOL
Best of luck with the build progress.

Re: 1994 GT Psyclone Dream Project
man... that filet brazing is just amazing! Sweet frame!!!
Which models / years of GT bikes were done like this? It would be really cool to have one... I see GT bikes come up for sale here in canada all the time but I never know what models to look for that may have the filet brazing...
thanks!

As far as I know the only fillet brazed bikes by GT were the Psyclones, which were also branded Cyclones for a few years. It had about a ten year run beginning in the late '80s but the production numbers were fairly low hence the big interest from collectors....
