GT Arette Complete Bike

[Funkydbmtb]

Hello all,

I work for a bicycle Charity and we recently had this donated to us.
Its not mega old AND seen some things/ridden some miles but I don't know much about it.

What say you hive mind??

It's an entry level hybrid. Fine on gravel or for commuting. I wouldn't consider it a mountain bike.

Thanks, that is great.
We have a lot of gravel/tow paths near us, so most likely this will make a good commuter for someone.

Is it a 700D tyre size like the Tachyon?

Just the Tachyon and Continuum were 700D I think. The lower parts of the range were all 700C.

As stated, it's lower in the range, but they are not that common and the 1992 GT paint still looks in reasonably good condition, which is a draw.

£40-60 possibly.

It's an interesting bike for a GT enthusiast but what's really interesting is your Park tool collection and that stand - you could hang a small motorbike from that!
But the bike - I bet it would look fantastic as a gravel bike. Or a good sturdy tourer, just needs the right customer to spot it.

Yeah we are a charity (https://www.on-your-bike.co.uk/) we offer social prescription activities to people, we also sell donated/secondhand bikes as well as service and repair bicycles.
We have two sites which each have identical tool board layout, so no matter which site any of us work in we always know where everything is.
The stands were positioned on the steel uprights for a Mezzanine floor we installed
