Interesting.

Well not really, but sort of.

Never used to see older GTs (say '90-'92) on Ebay.

All this year there seems to have been at least three a week!

Mainly these have been from '92 with the 'Groove Tube', 'Flip-Flop' and loud paint.

Anyone else noticed this.

Sorry, just a bit bored before we go out to dinner so thought I'd post what I was thinking at the moment - and that (for some reason) is what I am currently thinking about.

That and food / booze of course.

Bye for now.

Yup, the best GT years IMO

This is on at the moment

Second that opinion Pickle. The early '90s are the golden era of GT. There's something about a triple-triangle with a U-brake.

Don't get me wrong, the later frames are great, my Zaskar is a '94 and the Xizang is '97, but deep down I'd have preferred half-a-pound of U-brake on the both of them (clearly I'm sick, and in need of help – think I'll go and lie down somewhere dark)

Nope, I agree too.

'92 was definitely the best year for GT.

That's when all mine are from anyway...!

They seem to be fetching good money at the moment too. I paid the grand total of £20 for my '91 Karakoram back in april 06 (although I'm sure the cash-on-collection kept the price low), and I don't recall my avalanche costing loads more either.

The karakoram on ebay at the mo is already at £65 although it is in great nick – even has it's original GT-branded Regal saddle (I really want one of those).

I have a standing agreement with her indoors though – the only bike I'm allowed to add to the fleet is a '91 Team Avalanche in Midnight Aurora. For anything else I'd have to loose one first

And yet I've never seen one on the bay
