    GT Xizang Serial number thread

    Re: No serial no# ? I'm sure that must be one of the factory rejects. Not worth anything. But I'll give you $50 US for it. I'm such a nice guy... :lol:

    GT Xizang Serial number thread

    Precisely. One of these days, a bike like that will come up for sale as a complete bike, at the time I have the cash setting around to buy it. But that's the thing I'm talking about to make a road mate to my mountain bike. Even with all XTR components and Schwalbe Marathon Plus 26x1.25...

    GT Xizang Serial number thread

    I see your point. And I agree with you - in part. But, I've been kind of passively looking for another GT Xizang type bike, but for road use. My bike's basically a hardtail mountain bike, and there are times that I've wanted more of a real road bike. IN ADDITION to my current Xizang.

    GT Xizang Serial number thread

    All of this brings me back around to this: What happened to GT and the Xizang? I believe in a free market economy, and that the best ideas and products should succeed while inferior ones should fail on their own. And as a very pleased owner of a GT Xizang for the past 16+ years, I feel...

    GT Xizang Serial number thread

    I learned something from you. Thanks. But I don't understand how they thought that a chrome-moly True Temper rear end could be any sort of improvement over all-titanium. And it's odd to me that their front forks are standard fixed forks, instead of the Rock Shox type that I always see on...

    GT Xizang Serial number thread

    This is a GT Xizang I have never seen before. The bottom bracket looks like a true titanium unit, but the chain rails look to me like some tubes that have been glued into titanium sockets. This is new to me...

    GT Xizang Serial number thread

    Doesn't it seem that if there's NO serial number where one should be, it's either a home-brew bike, or someone's removed it? Why do I get the feeling that there's a history involving crime attached to this frame?

    GT Xizang 92, 16" frame sale or swap SOLD

    Just remember: If you decide you don't like the Xizang, you can email me and I will feel sorry for you and take her off your hands. I wouldn't want you to have to suffer... :lol: xizang@belizemail.net

    GT Xizang 92, 16" frame sale or swap SOLD

    Not really that big a deal. You will find the GT Xizang is only the best hardtail bike ever built. But if you disagree, you can always contact me. I would like a mate for the one I've had since new in 1995. 8)

    Proyec XIZANG Near to an end?

    I've been knocking around the past year and have come across half a dozen Xizangs that I (foolishly) passed on. I have a sweet Xizang I bought new in 1995 and just upgraded to all new XTR components plus Easton carbon bars and seat post, and Brooks Ti Pro saddle. Now, my Lady Xizang REALLY...

    GT Xizang 92, 16" frame sale or swap SOLD

    Tis a pity that you guys always seem to come up with a clean, undamaged Xizang frame when I'm between paydays. Eventually, I would like to be sitting on the cash when one of you comes up with a good Xizang. My 1995 GT Xizang is lonely and needs a mate!

    GT Xizang frame (for sale or trade)

    My GT Xizang is lonely and needs a mate. I have found a lady who would make a good mate for me. I already have a great GT Xizang of my own. My bike and I need a great Xizang to complete our picture. Would your Xizang measure up? If so, we need it!

    GT Xizang frame (for sale or trade)

    gaf - I think I would be willing to adopt the frame and provide it a new, happy home. My Xizang needs a companion! They are a different sort of geometry, and are not a road bike nor a hands-free recreational bike. You need to invest some time getting used to the handling... I have over...

    GT Xizang frame (for sale or trade)

    Well, Gaf, if other things don't work out, I'm always a buyer for a good GT Xizang frame. As I mentioned, I bought the one I have brand new in 1995, and have been in love with her ever since. I have a real interest in getting a mate for her. Something a little smaller than the 18-inch frame I...

    GT Xizang frame (for sale or trade)

    Any of you smart guys have any idea how much that would be in US Dollars? I have a GT Xizang that I bought new in 1995, and which has been one of my favorite possessions ever since. This year, I have spent a little over $2600 US on latest new components to upgrade her - such as all new...

    I looked at eBay, but only found general GT decals for lots of the other bikes, none for the Xizang. If you know something I don't, I would love to hear from you or whoever... xizang@belizemail.net

    GT Xizang Serial number thread

    I would leave my Xizang to one of my kids or a good friend. But NOBODY would ever appreciate her like I do. Things tend to be worth what you pay for them. And anyone who gets even a great bike for free, is sure to not appreciate it. My Xizang is one of my most-treasured possessions, and...

    GT Xizang Serial number thread

    I bought my Xizang new from a bike shop in Denver, 1995. They had to order the frame, but could get one fast from the GT rep. It had a skinned up decal. I said "Okay" as I was anxious. So, my Xizang has a serial number G18355S Okay, the 18 must be frame size. The 355 is the actual...
