Don't think its a retro

They don't have the little bracket on the top stays for the rear brake  :-\

And also the headtube is wrong for the retro

and the retro is a looptail

I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)

Don't the shape of the stays help to determine date?

id say either 1994 or 1995 this is beacuse it has canti mounts not v mounts as already mentioned and has 1&1/8th aheadset

exactly the same as the 94 and 95 gt fueler's as gt were the first bmx company to use 1&1/8th taken from their mtb range in 94

(standard was the first freestyle company to use 1&1/8th)
