The Suntour stem is era correct but if you want it as it came out of the factory then in 1983 the stock GT bikes such as the Team Pro 1 came with SR components, so you want an SR stem

THE CORRECT STEM FOR A gt PRO IS A suntour ms 1100 power stem would you like a bet? nod come on lets have a little £20 on it because i sold him the frame and i have the proof

Bananaman · « **Reply #12 on:** January 08, 2007, 09:58 PM »

Everything on a standard Nora Pro purchased as a full bike had SR components, my bike in the picture was purchased like that, I have replaced the tyres, inner brake cable, chain and the pedals (the correct pedals are SR P.468's) I have the original ones but they are scuffed.

Please prove me wrong, any frame only purchases could have had any spec.

ok? what do you owe me

Nosnod · « **Reply #22 on:** January 08, 2007, 10:25 PM »

If I am not mistaken that pic is from BMX Bi Weekly 1983 Vol 3 No 11 so that is not an original GT spec sheet. The test was just the frame and forks (Pro Kit) fitted with various top end parts such as the flight cranks etc.

If you go back to my original post you will read that I said that the Suntour stem was era correct but if you wanted it like it came out of the factory as a full bike then they were all fitted with SR stems

Simple really

LXIX · « **Reply #23 on:** January 08, 2007, 10:29 PM »

you are mistaken that is the spec sheet , thats the uk spec

LXIX · « **Reply #24 on:** January 08, 2007, 10:32 PM »

i dont know if its how they came out like this in the uk,but they did in south africa , anyways sr stems suck get a suntour
