GT Tequesta yr??

This is the same as my first bike – 1990/91.
I was working in a bike shop at the time and bought it before they went on general release. The frame was the same as the Karakoram but it was kitted out with suntour X1 – one rung down from XC Comp as memory serves.
Best bit was the paint job, a wet-mix of purple with white bits bleeding into it – fantastic and each one was noticeably unique too.
Looks like a 20" to me – I usually ride an 18-19" GT and I'm 6'1" (though my avalanche is actually a 16" with long post and stem) – I do like compact frames though (and I've got oddly long legs) :?
All in all a nice bike, but I'd ask for better pics if you're seriously considering it – I've dated it from the memory of there only ever being the one purple tequesta, plus it's got a U-brake and they were phased out around '92-'93 – you can't really se anything in those pics
