At lot of GT stuff was wonky BITD, especially bars & seatposts...I used to look at them and think what were they thinking in the factory.

I worked in a bike shop BITD (GT dealers) & noticed this quite a lot  :daumenhoch:


As above it would bug me......my GT bars are the same, but originallity counts ????....I have a sticker set, which I will proberly use  :uglystupid2:  :2funny:

I think i would leave it as long as i could, but i think i would have to do something about it eventually. Before i did i would try and find some original decals.  ???

Id find a nos decal set and replace them properly, nos frames and stuff are hard to come by now so it has to be treated properly  :daumenhoch:
