awesome ride! Have one myself . Fast bike, great components!  Those are Spin wheels carbon fiber $399 retail . your bike may be a 1997 , it has a cantilever hanger. 1998's do not. If I'm right the frame should have been sent back for the recall. So its a keeper

Did you replace the decals on this bike?  I'm trying to figure out correct ones, and these are a little different than most I see.

I have a 97 gt speed series team xl as well and mine has the built in seat clamp and this one does not, its all original and i was about to trade it for a 300 dollar road bike, but after all of this 1 0f 100 talk with msrp in the 4 digits i think ill hold on to it seeing as i got it for only 60 bucks on c-list. Let me know if you know anything about the seat clamp maybe its prior recall thing. I have no clue. old gt's are top shelf!

awesome bike . those wheels are hard to find . looks good

i remember seeing the box series in 1996 when i was 14. i was looking at the gary turner from 1977 with the welded seat post and noticed the dropouts. i havnt seen them again up until the box series bikes. awesome bike, i have a 84-85 performer and would like to buy more old gt stuff.
