Hi. Love the GT. Have been given the very same bike free form my brother and in the process of restoring it. If you have any info you could help me , i'd be very greatful. This is the only other 99 XL + i've ever seen. Thanks for posting it. James, UK.

The pro series XL plus is very rare and it's one of the most beautiful bmx steel frame. I think it was the last US handmade. It was sold frame only (I have the french catalog year 2000... )
