    1993 Diamondback Apex

    Here is my 1993 Apex. 1993 was my favorite year, because the Head Tubes were bigger than usual. Thus the seating position is a bit more upright. This 18" frame, (though it measures 19" the traditional way), has a nice tall Head Tube. I am a leggy 6'1", with a strong preference for smaller...

    2006 Jamis Dragon Team with Retro Parts

    I wanted to preserve the classic-XC geometry of my old 1996 GT Zaskar, but switch to Steel. Yet something that could still be Fast. Was looking for an older Steel race frame, like a 96' Kona Explosif, 96' Diamondback Axis, or any GT Psyclone (my unicorn). Hard to find any of the above. Then this...

    1994 GT Bravado vs. 1992 GT Richter...same frame?

    The GT Bravado was supposed to be higher up in the GT hierarchy than the Richter. Was this only based on the better component setup? Were the frames exactly the same? My 1994 GT Bravado is too small for me at a size 18", and sadly it is time to see her go. I have tried for years to make it fit...

    Ride Characteristics: GT Zaskar v Specialized Stumpjumper M4

    They were both known as good hardtails. There was great competition between them, the Zaskar in the 90s, the Stumpjumper M4 in the early 2000's. I own a 96 GT Zaskar and have ridden briefly on a Stumpjumper M4. This was years ago and don't really remember the ride of it. From my hazy...

    1996 GT Zaskar 19" (Red Anodized)
