1991 GT Cyclone

[Bobbb]

I bought my GT Cyclone in November 1991. I've put 10s of thousands of miles on it. I still love it. Years later I bought a GT Avalanche, it's a good bike, but doesn't ride like the Cyclone. I'm putting a group together to ride the Camino in two years from now. We're going to take a training ride on the Great Allegheny Passage next spring, and I'm concerned that my beloved Cyclone won't be up for the Camino. Question: when do you hang up the bike for good? Is it when the cranks fall out of the barrel? How many miles can I get? I love this bike...

Loving that! I also thought it was called 'Psyclone', but read on to be proved wrong. I had an Avalanche in 92 & remember drooling over the Psyclone frame. Great to see a lot of original GT parts on there, even the grips :-O

Great bike.

Great bike.

GT had both the Cyclone and Psyclone models in the early 90's, correct me if I am wrong but the Cyclone was only made for one year, where the Psyclone was made for a longer period after it's introduction.

Two different names for the same model. It changed from Cyclone to Psyclone for 1992.

Cyclone is U brake while Psyclone has cantis

Dunno what it is about GT's but I really like them.. can't wait to get cracking on my '98 Avalanche frame..

Loving this Cyclone.. maybe one day I'll get to own a high-end early GT

I love my early 90's GT's too....there's something about that triple triangle, eh?
