I've picked up 2 bikes today.
A GT and a CW.

I know the CW is a ZX Pro, but can anyone tell me what year it could be?
I think this model is made from 82 till 84?
Serial is ZX1184

The CW came with a small handlebar with a MCS decal.
Who know more about this handlebar?

Now the GT. It's a Pro like the one I have from 1983.
But the one I picked up today has a serial number on the outside of the right dropout and is longer then the 83 I have.
Could it be that this one is a 84 model?
Thought these models were only made till 83?
Anyone who can explain a bit more?
The GT came with a nin drilled fork!
Here a pic of the serial of my 83 GT Pro

And a pic of the serial number of the GT I picked up today

BTW the seller said to me he bought both bikes in 1983.

The GT is a pro, the number 4 denotes a pro model

I'm pretty sure GT changed models in mid '86 - I've got a Standard made in Dec '83 and they were still selling those in the spring of '84. I think the new model came in when black chrome became available (why is it I can remember things like this but not things like paying bills??).
