    Newbie 1991 GT Tequesta Build - help!

    Unless there was a version for a different market then yes, the UK version was Suntour, you can see the specs towards the end of the catalogue here - https://www.retrobike.co.uk/archive/1991-gt-bicycles-usa-catalog.19/ Mine came with Shimano as well, and horrible aero wheels. I now have 95% of...

    For Sale Selling everything I have as a job lot.

    Sorry to hear you're selling it all :( What's your time scale? I might be able to do this, but the van I would be borrowing won't be ready for a couple of weeks.

    94? GT Tequesta Team Scream

    As is tradition, I finished this very last minute, brakes cabled the morning we left and adjusted when we got there. Broken STX shifters replaced with XT thumbies and Dia Compe, broken STX rear brakes replaced with LX (I think). New tyres, grips, pedals, saddle, everything else is stock. My...

    Tequesta Team Scream frame

    Not mine! But I had to do a double take, just for a moment... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404299052767?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=j8WdCne5R-m&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=NoW5TjSkRmy&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Mine https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/94-gt-tequesta-team-scream.464329/

    GT All Terra.

    Wow, just wow. I also had the idea to collect all the 92 bikes, for the same reasons, but ended up with a bit of a mix, it's hard to say no when they pop up at the right price. I'm up to only 7 GT's so far :LOL: So hard to pick a favourite of yours, but I'm drawn to the Tequila Sunrise Ricochet 😍

    94? GT Tequesta Team Scream

    I tried tidying this up for a trip next week, thinking it just needed a bit of a clean... and ended up completely stripping it down 😄 The BB that came out of it doesn't feel great so I'm trying to pick out a replacement. The one I took out measures 110mm long, the shell of the BB on the frame...

    1x vs 3x: The Maths

    I don't get this at all, choosing a gear is based entirely on if I'm finding the pedalling too easy or too hard. That's where having more steps helps for me, less chance the perfect resistance for me at that moment is between 2 of them. It's not a choice I've ever spent much cognative capacity...

    WTF

    I think in this case it means you can mend your bike twice (hence 2nd amendment) when it gets mended wrong the first time, like this bike.

    Wanted SunTour parts for a 91 GT Tequesta

    Thanks for the reply! I'll give it a go. I don't plan on riding this bike hard at all, just a gentle pootle round the local lake, I'm not expecting high performance 😄

    For Sale 1992 GT Timberline Daktari White 18 inch. SOLD

    I'm sooo tempted by this, my size, my favourite year, would fit great in my collection, and is practically down the road, but man I really don't need another bike. Really hoping someone swoops in on this before I lose my resolve 😣 Very nice bike, GLWS 👍 🤞

    Wanted SunTour parts for a 91 GT Tequesta

    Looks like I have everything except the chain sorted now, I'm just bumping this in case anyone has any suggestions before I randomly start buying 7 speed chains 😄 For those interested, I will eventually do a build thread for this, you will get to see more of this bike.

    Wanted SunTour parts for a 91 GT Tequesta

    @Gtpulse Thanks for digging them out! I've done the deal with the US guy on ebay, so assuming that all turns up ok, the only bits I'm missing are wheels/cassette and chain. Your wheels look close enough to me, or, as close as I'm going to get for now. The cassette looks 12 to something, is it...

    Not for that price! No Gary Fisher love round these parts then? Shocking.

    Same guy is selling this rather nice Gary Fisher, which I mostly want for those tyres. I really want those tyres 😳 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334535180571?hash=item4de3d9c11b:g:VCUAAOSww2ti~Svf

    "As New" GT Borrego with Suntour XC Expert

    Looks like they only made the Borrego for 1 year only, 1993, and it sat between the Tequesta and the Karakoram in the line up. Price might be a bit steep, must be pretty rare though, and it is "or best offer". I reckon its a 16.5", too small for me, or at least, that's what I'm telling myself 😅

    Wanted SunTour parts for a 91 GT Tequesta

    I'm close to a deal with a US ebay seller for most of the rest of the parts I need, but I'm now wondering about the parts I can't find so easily - hubs, cassette and chain. I never ran SunTour stuff BITD, so I don't really know about compatibility. Obviously everything by the same...

    Wanted SunTour parts for a 91 GT Tequesta

    I won that front mech @Rod_Saetan 😁 Apologies to whoever was bidding against me, thanks for not going higher! 2 down... a few more to go. I've seen a few nice rear mechs and chainsets on ebay, all in the US though, even at cheap prices adding £50-60 on top for shipping and import really...
