Gary Fisher Grateful Dead...Titanium????

[GoldenEraMTB]

So yea, I remember the GF Grateful Dead mtb from the mid-90's, an entry level bike with a cool paint job. I never heard they made one in titanium, but this is it...or so the buyer says:

I love the steel version, always planned on owning one, this would be perfect if it hadn't had such a whack!

I'm pretty sure that's steel, for one thing those welds do not look lke ti at all......

 

[stevek]

Not the greatest welding but I've seen worse. Looks ti but hard to be 100%. A steel frame would possibly be showing some signs of corrosion by now?

I think it looks ti. Hard to say though.

Looks like a generic (i.e Asian) ti frame with Dead decals.

ding ding ding...we have a winner

yep, perhaps I'll break the bad news to the seller today...no way is that what he claims it to be, though if Trek was going to build a GF grateful dead bike in ti, it would probably be made in asia at minimal expense.

I just saw that frame on thier and googled it. I though it was just a cheap ti frame with the greatful dead decals on it. I actually have 2 original great ful dead fishers that are new. I work at a bike shop and my bosses kept a few. One has been assembled and has just been up front for show, the other has had parts picked off of it and is just a frame now.

Would anyone be interested in either of these? My bosses are having me sell alot of the stuff the have had lying around for years, and these 2 bikes are going to. I also have alot of odds and ends that I am selling. Everything I am selling is new.
