the collection was big, and now it's getting bigger






I knew that DVD shelf would come in handy some time or another

oh and you know it is!

had to include the pink one,and a shot riding my 1990 pft,those were really cool too,still have the cranks,rear wheel,clamp and seat of that one!(although the seat is totally bent,I just kept it!)the last shot is my friend rob.v,trying to act like josh white in those 87 freestle is life ads!

notice the new school riders staring at my bike's HUGE 44t sprocket!
or could it have been the brakes,yeah,he was probably staring at the fact I have not one,but TWO brakes!
or maybe it was my seatpost showing more than a quarter of an inch(and it's low for old school standards!)
it really was fun!

one thing I could never stand about these bikes is the horrible sr 474 pedals,and the 87 seat,which sucked bigtime,and ripped up all my pants,AND the hollow  alloy axles,which bent or broke/stripped on the first week always!but then again,nothing's perfect,not even pft's!
that's why thoseparts are harder to find,everyone threw them awaythe were only produced for that year,and they had no aftermarket sales,that's why!similar to tech 7's which were cool,but broke too easily,thank god dc did their homework quickly and blessed us with the outstanding tech 77,which to this day stands as the only 80's part in use up until recently,when brakes were declared illegal!
then again,to paraphrase r.l."If braking was illegal,only outlaws would skid!or smith decade out!"

Wow! All you guys have some sweet GT collections over there! GT always had some sweet frame designs and colors to go with it. Chrome was king. Being made in the U.S.A. is always a bonus too

wow loven the Photo's!

Matt, now I see what you mean by cramped.

thats i nice set of gt's.
lots of lots of gt's....
those pink gt really glow.

phil wood- very nice collection.  I LOVE that white 88, your white 88 is what inspired me to do a white 88 (the white f/f you can see in the pics).  Or you can just sell me yours, and I can have 2

ok,guys,maybe we can have some group therapy conducted by dr.air,and paid for by the chairman!:lol:whew!phil,love the 4 piece bars on the white one!in fact,love them all!I need  a pink gt so much!

Can I have one of your pink PFT's ?  I have tons of basement space if you need me to hold on to them for you

The dayglo pink GT's look killer ! 

Phil Wood, that is one sick GT collection you have going there as well.
