The Lightning was a two year wonder when Ti was it's hottest in the market. Welded in Taiwan out of USA Sandvik tubing. Only sold as a bead blasted complete bike with mid-level spec. GT's international distributors wanted this model because they were demanding something lower priced in Ti.


The Xizang was built from 90-99 and was originally built by LaVoie, Then Sandvik which later became Ti Sports and fianlly the last couple tears they were built at GT's Tech Shop. Always offered as a frame, only offered as a complete biike in 1994 and 1998. Always sold hand polished except the last year they were painted.

No!! I don't poses info like that!! I copy and pasted it from a thread, gm1230126 is the GT Master

Use the google search function on here there's a good few threads someone said they got £500 for one collected?

18" frame.

I think that one's been in my basement before. bpool thanks for giving credit.

Love these, more less obvious and more understated than the Xizang, just one of those frames that looks correct.

Carl.

I spotted this and I may be wrong but I reckon that's a good price if its in real good nick.
Given that there are a limited number of these frames out there and of those the number that aren't bent is even lower I can only see these going up.

OK its not a Xizang (which can also only go up), but compared to buying a new Ti frame its still a bargain.... oh and it's a GT at the end of the day - not at all biased

£286+48 delivery? Bargin? Think I would of been happy?
