Think this frame was the subject of much discussion, was it on ebay in the last few months?

Yes, it was on ebay a few times back in summer, good luck on the sale.

Where did you bought it? Was it from a GT dealer?

Do people assume triple triangle designs are automatically GT? Don't mean to cause an issue in your FS thread, but do you know with absolute certainty that this is a GT?

Thanks

Complete bike was for sale for £500 on e-bay... didn't sell. Then frame only was on e-bay with a starting price of £150... didn't sell.

Ooopps edited that before I could quote you....you had stated you were sure it was a GT frame...but I wouldn't be sure:

quote from that thread:

It's a hellenic frame but it's not a GT. This was covered in a previous post which makes me wonder if it's even 853???

My apologies to the seller if he is somehow able to prove this is a GT

goldenera, yeah, i was sure but then i noticed there was no tube sticking out of the rear seat tube like most GT's have....
