It seems like a pretty good price. The paint's battered in places, but acceptable as patina and 1991 is probably my favourite year for GTs. The internal rear brake routing makes this a little nicer and it's pretty original. Just needs a decent 300LX or higher chainset and brake levers.

Looks like a 20" to me, I see it has U brakes.
You can't mount, say, XT canti's on there can you?

pretty bike none the less.

Not on the back, no

That is quite nice and not mega money either.

There is an '90 SLR XT U brake, what was the deal with U brakes.
Can't mount a proper mudguard?

They're super cool! Most of my old bikes have them. Pretty much phased out by 1992. Just for BMX these days

Yep, that's a 20", so 22.5" C-T.
