Re:
Hello everyone,
Like an idiot, when I submitted my Cyclone (20", red, U-brake) for warranty (crack more than paint deep across one of the fillet-brazed joints) back in 1993, I didn't ask for it to be repaired and repainted in Longmont, and accepted credit towards a new frame (RTS-1, d'oh!).
I remember the serial number as GTL 0016, not GTL 9116, as the other serial numbers would suggest is correct. Perhaps it was a pre-production frame, or perhaps I am just getting old.
Anyway, while I would love to think that someone saved it from the scrap heap at Riteway East, and that one of those two serial numbers will eventually end up here, I suspect that we'll never know. It would be interesting to learn of another "00" serial number for early Cyclones.
Cheers,
The Kid
