Giant Chicago - what year?

[mamadirt]

Tempted by this little low-end Giant - full Hi-Ten but that paint job Any idea of the year - I'm guessing 89-92ish from the head badge, but it doesn't appear in any of the catalogues.

You may want to use the date codes of the Shimano components to identify the year?
A good source of information is this link
http://www.vintage-trek.com/component_dates.htmOr do you still think about buying it online?

There is an offer at German classified of to me the same model
https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s...ke-nur-abholung-moeglich-/1737575740-217-4865Maybe this helps just getting visually some more details on used components to identify the age?
Unfortunatly very cheap stuff seem to be used, I'm personally not very familar with those components.

Thank you

It is for sale locally at a reasonable price - haven't been to see it yet. I'll do a bit more research

Hello i have the same bike. Also in search for the production year. Did you have any luck by finding what you are looking for?

 

[mamadirt]

No I didn't and decided to pass on the purchase back then. Yours looks pretty cool

I have a 1995 Terrago which has the same head badge, definitely 1995 as it's in the catalogue on here so could be slightly later - really cool paint job on these Chicago's though!

These builds are looking awesome, very well done guys! I just found the exact same bike on eBay and I'm about to buy it. Do you guys know the year meanwhile? I'm so damn curious. And secondly I would like to know what BB this bike is fitting? Does it fit the BSA standard?

Cheers,
