don't know what to tell you alan, i got an 84 that still has a straight end on the top tube and serial on the rear dropout without a G, i got an 86 cruiser which has a serial on the dropout and no G. i reckon that it's an 86 by the stamping on the dropouts, but i wouldn't bet me house on it. :-[

the forks look right, although for the Huntingdon Beach models there are some different drop outs around, have a look at the Mach 1's on OS

From memory (my dad used to sell GT's for geoff barraclough) the F&F is the same on all the earlier GT's it was just the spec which caused different 'models' to be cheaper or dearer and the mach one came with entry level everything :o)
