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.

Hey Townshend you should hold a meet in holland and sell us lots of stuff I'm sure theres plenty of old tokers sorry racers that would be up for 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

most race frames upto 04 had that same look with the same stamps, ive sold quite a few frames like that over the past couple of years

Hehe cheers Alan, think five GT's is enuff now, next on the list looptail ripper n skyway T/A roflmao shouldn't be too difficult or dear!!!

[silentpartner]

is a mach one good? when you find who got decals let me know 

[dj_benice]

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)
