Author Topic: GT Fueler - anyone got any info on this? (Read 3520 times)

A mate of mine has got hold of a GT Fueler. It seems to be totally stock, really nice and tidy.
All looks to be fairly nice bits, upper mid range I'd guess.
I dont know much about them other than they were (one of) the first A-head bikes.
It has a Ubrake so I dont know if that makes it an early one. Most seem to have Canti mounts.

He might be up for selling it, he aint too sure what to do with it yet.

thats one of the later ones, around 1998 iirc

1994 frame, fork, aheadset, stem, canti brake and seatpost and seat clamp kit

1995 onwards offered as a complete bike

1998 cantis replaced with u brake mounts on the chainstay

should have f for fueler and the year on the dropout

here's my 1995 one which is a replica of the one i had in 94, swapped a 2 week old haf for it

The 94/95 Model is the one you want. They were USA made and had lovely geometry. All the other pale in comparison.

the 94 first gen was best one, the decals were mint, after 94 they were naff, sorry just my opinion but looks are everything lol

the 94 frameset and early 95 completes had the same decals, atleast both mine did

also on the late 95 ones the cable guides moved from the right side of the top tube to the left for some reason

The cable guides changed sides so that the frames were compatible with V Brakes (which traditionally need the cable to feed from the left).

cool

this is near perfect

guy says its a team version, but according to the 1995 gt catalouge there was no team version of the fueler just the standard complete

cant see any team stickers so more than likely he has just made it like a pro freestyle team model by using the cranks etc....
