Hi folks,

I saved this when I got my GT in 84 (frame is an 83) - never sent it off, are there many about? Do people hang them on their bikes at show's etc.

does anyone know much about the factory??

Thanks again...

GTs huntingdon beach facility came after their Santa Ana, presumably it was larger to cope with their increasing demand.
84 sounds about right as i think that was the transition period, the change in address can be seen in the ads at the time.

Cheers dude,

I have attempted to google but not much joy - I know it's only a piece of paper and worth 0, but I think it's nice to have it with the bike still..

Have you seen many?

Definately a nice thing to have that, never seen one before since collecting!

Surprised it's not Santa Ana in 1984 (particularily on an 83 frame)...but hey oh, maybe they had a warranties office there before moving manufacturing?

Who knows?

A lovely piece though. If you did fancy selling it, I would like to buy it for my good friend Quadrophenia Pete.

The serial number on frame is 83, not sure if the rest of the code my state anything else like location of manufacture, maybe Quadrophenia may know??

and he always has one!!!!
