(w) 1991 GT Steel/Titan Xizang

Yeah FMJ you gotta love those internet picture theives that think they own everything posted on the internet.

There's only been three of these 91 Xizang's for sale the past 7 years and I think the one pictured above may have originated of an eBay listing in Florida about 6 years ago and if so that means only two have been for sale and the other one was damaged and had squashed rear stays. One year wonder (only made one year 1991) and not many were made. For the 4-500 dollar price difference most of the people, like me, that bought a Xizang in 1991 bought the LE (full Ti) version. Personally yes they are very interesting frames but I though they were a tad heavy for the money.
 
FMJ please remember that I asked first if you ever decide to part with that one :D The one listed from Florida on eBay went for a whole $350 six years ago....guess that was high for a vintage bike back then....if we had only known...
 
My friend's brother took that pic in his back yard. Weird thing is, it's hosted on a German site.

Yeah, we've been back and forth about the provenance. I have a pic of my buddy standing with the bike and an arm full of parts in front of the store he bought it at in Miami in March of 06. I'd rather not post it. He was undergoing chemo, and it's not his best look.
