Anyone for ping pong? GT owners.

Hey, I just thought I'd do a roll call type of thing regarding GT ping pong bikes as I'm interested to find out how many are actually out there. Ive been told that GT put a ping pong decal on some of their 2000 model bikes as it was a thing the workers played on their lunch breaks and what not, also it was the last USA built bikes? If you can add more to this please tell me!

Here's the one on the seat tube of my DHI.

Anyone else have this decal... Get your pictures up!

Cheers Rob

Re:

I never knew about this! I like wee stories such as this which give bikes a human touch. It's too easy to imagine bikes appearing as soulless tubes of metal off a fully robotised production line.

Yeah, it's a pretty cool story, like I say I just want to find out how many there are, I'm guessing quite rare?

Bump...am I the only person?
