GT Talera, my new project (need some help).

[LikeBike]

Hello.
Now, after the 1991 MARIN Bear Valley, I have a new project: a GT Talera All Terra.
Pictures shows the aktual (funny) condition:
I like the frame type and the paitwork.
Drive parts, brakes, wheels and shifters are genuine.
Does anyone know the year of building? I think 93 - 95 ???
Irritating is the KLEIN Label at the seat tube. Was there a cooperation or is it only the label of a dealer?

I don't have help for You other than to point this:

I checked mine catalogue from 1994 and they have all GT All Terra
stickers on bottom tube and model names on top tube.

I like it as it is - mudguards and a rack to complete!

Have to say i agree with the big cheese, i think a cruiser/recreational theme would suit the bike, i'd fit some black tyres though.

99.9 % sure Klein had nothing to do with GT.

With the U brake and sticker orientation i'd say it's a 92, as Rider poined out by 94 the name of the bike was on the top tube and "all GT terra" was on the downtube.

Year of building

Hello.
Today I finished dismantling. On the inside at one arm of the U-brake I found the embossing 8/91. So that 1992 could be the year of building.
The frame (without fork) is 3 kg weight.
The backwheel has had a chainsuck under the pinions, so that I must renew the spokes there.
Greeting from warm Germany, LikeBike

At last, work could go on :
- new Shimano bottom bracket
- used Shimano LX crankset
- TA chain wheels
- Salsa handlebar
- BBB seatpost
- Specialized saddle
- Schwalbe tyres


... will be continued

good stuff - nice work

I like it subtle

The paint job looks good for it's age

 

[SeeingisBelievingGTMuseum]

The color is called "Blue Nova" and it's a 1992 model year color. Last year they had the model names on the down tube.
