GT Richter earliest production date?

[dirtydog]

I wasn't aware Richter production date was this early? I thought at the earliest was 1992? Anybody confirm this? The bike I've picked up appears to be October 1991? Unfortunately the bike has been ravaged a little! Wheelset possibly original - Araya RM 400 Pro on DX, LX Crankset, original post (stuck) and seat, RS Indy XC fork instead of Mag 20...

It needs some serious TLC! :cry:

october would be for the model year. Gotta make them, build them, get them shipped from Taiwan to countries all ready for christmas.
Pretty much every company would have the bikes in store well before the actual year starts.

I've never seen any info on '91, always appears to be either '92 or '93. Thanks for the reply

Re:

Yeah, a October 91 built frame would be for the 92 production year so it'll be a 1992 model.
