mmmmmmmmmmmm GT psyclone,

Was frame only IIRC - https://www.mtb-kataloge.de/Bikekataloge/PDF/GT/1993.pdf

why didn't I bid on that bloody lovely browning special that turned up on evilbay a year or so back :madman:

did anyone off here get this beaut ?

My college roommate bought a Karakoram that I loved. It was a cro-mo frame that was royal blue and black - and it had the yellow Rock Shox on it. I always loved the look of that bike and it rode nice too.

I used to have a 93 Bravado LE, blue and yellow Team Scream paint job. It was stolen several years ago and I would love to get my hands on another one. Anyone got an 18" frame they want to get rid of?

Try posting a wanted ad in the MTBR classifieds vintage section. Also, the guys on vintage board seem to have connections to find just about anything.

GT Oupost 1992

Here is my finished project, identical model to my 1st ever mountain bike, at 13 you dont really look after things like you should, so nearly 16 years later, with little bit of cash, access to the internet (ebay) and too much time (being single helps), i have built up this little beauty (ok its not the top end GT, but its a GT all the same)

2x Outposts have been bought to complete this one,

Replaced - brake blocks (obvious) Seatpost, seat, bottom bracket and handle bar grips - but with trying to keep things all GT, the grips are GT logo'd, so are the Toe clips and straps.

All other things are original, suntour mechs and accushift shifters, handle bars, headset, brakes, chainset, and wheels, (dunno about the chain)

It seems like the Outpost of that year at least either, came with amber or black wall cheng shin tyres, i have both, same grip pattern

Nice Outpost, stock down to the tires! Cool.

Here is my latest GT creation with some slight mods from previous pics.

 

[Iron horseman]

95 Pantera all original down to the Tioga Psyco front tire and Judy XC. It has full STX and a vetta TT seat.

This the one that was for sale on ebay from a florida seller a year back? Sweet bike. Truly original Xizang with the bolt on chromoly rear. I wanted one so bad when they first came out but heard they were going all Ti and waited a year for mine.

I have a '93 Tequesta. Amazing frame and paintjob, but really heavy. Soon I'll strip off the frame in order to weight it and... to replace it for a '97 Lightning ti I've just bough in Ebay.

Love top GT steel frames (Bravado and Psyclone/Cyclone), but haven't been able to find a cheap one. Won't pay 400 bucks plus shipping costs for a Psy.

Anyway, these are amazing bikes. And some of the pics you posted really rock.

 

[derrgti]

Here are some pics of my Xixang.. 1997 is 10 years really vintage?

finally started riding again after about 5 years off the bike, still rides like a dream.

my early 90's GT K2. This was bought new at The Clean Machine bike shop in Carrboro, NC for around $700 back in 1992. I've put a few upgrades on it since then and it's as is on the pictures shown below

One of the cooler GT's I've seen.

 

[Rumpfy]

I'm sure everyone is sick of pics of this bike by now...but I swapped out the M900 cranks for Syncros Revolutions....just need Syncros bars to round out the package. Took it on a ride just this afternoon.

The Powerlites have a bad rep for breaking? I've not heard that before.

The cranks yes, the forks no.

Between the cranks, rear wheel, and the fork....I'm a goner for sure! :nonod:

 

[GT2005]

Found a pic of it from just after I rebuilt it 3 years ago on my home computer.

Ya, the orange saddle is gone.

I need to find a pic of my Avalanche of the same vintage (same paint too).

What's the black fabric-like material on the top tube of your old GT? TIA. -GT2005

I found a bike just like that in the garbage a couple of years ago. It sat in the back of my truck for 6 months. Finally, I stripped it and only kept the frame, fork and stem. The handlebar was rusted to the shifters. It was painted the exact Orange with Black splatter. I'm going to have it Orange powder coated. I've got a fairly complete Deore group less wheels, cables and handle bar. Oops, forgot the weird 26.mm seatpost.

If your bike is what a nice example looks, I can't wait to finish mine. I plan on giving it to my son for his birthday.
