@joglo is usually pretty good at this - any ideas?

Nice! 1991 I think and those ones were made of Cromor OR. A bargain for someone there!

They've listed another, for more: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/387402230214

IIRC, this or very similar was up for £50 earlier this year. https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/leeds-15.-deliver-retro-90-s-gt-tequesta-mountain-bike.-student-/1484480350 Great paint scheme and if those waffle grips are in good condition that would be nice.

Alright, I was just going by the catalogue, which states True Temper main tubes.

If it is definitely cantis I can think of two possibilities: * They switched from ubrakes to cantis for some models during 1992 - would make sense if they were changing factories * They started building 1993 Outpost frames at Hodaka in January 1992. That seems premature, but could be because of...

Fantastic, thank you. I've just been through the threads to see whether there's anything helpful I can pick up. A couple of notes on them: * The first RTS is a 1993 RTS 2, rather than the 1992 mentioned in the thread (frame made late 1992, correct 93 catalogue shot showing titanium colour) * The...

Yep, that would be great thanks. You can message them to me if that's better.

To get you started, the only aluminium GT I've owned is my often-missed 1991 Zaskar, which had a serial number of 11901830 no 6061 or USA stamp, like some other early ones, and a few anomalies:

Well, previously I have only been looking at the format for the steel frames: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/help-please-steel-gt-serial-numbers.392411/ And there is thread for Xizang serials here and I have a spreadsheet with all the ones listed in that thread recorded. This thread...

Made in January 1992, Hodaka factory, Tawain. Panthera as stated previously.

Thanks. I thought that was the case, but I don't know much about the early Pantheras. There are a few anomalies with the early Zaskars, not all of which are accepted by everyone.

Is there a difference in the serial format?

The frame might be quite decent. Is that a Ritchey stem?

It's a 16" GT sizing. Can anyone see what the first four digits of the serial are?

There should be some difference between the Timberline and the Talera/Outpost frames, because I think that year the Timberline was True Temper and the other two were Tange, but whether there are any features that make that obvious or not I'm not sure - possibly different seat post size, but that...

Interesting, is the second character definitely a 1? If so, it is very early for the move from T stamping to H stamping. That should indicate October 1991 production, which would be possible as I have evidence of one 1992 model stamped H. Does it have a rear ubrake (seat stay mounted)? I'm not...

What model is the rear hub? That could helpfomeone advise whether it's easiest to replace the freehub or whether it could be the pawls sticking and methods for freeing them up. [edit] I followed the link and saw it's a Deore hub. Too new for me to know, but generally for Shimano hubs it's not...
