GT Pro advice?

Great thanks chaps.

Pay more for a good chrome one. 

Don't buy a recoated one unless you really know the seller, I would apply this logic to any frame but GTs especially. 

Why is that 

They are prone to the seat tube rusting from the inside out because there is no hole in the bottom bracket to allow water to drain or the seat tube to breath.

As one of if not the best race frame they often took a shocking beating and the drops are often splayed and badly repaired under new paint or powder.

So these are populair , but not the best quality

Always liked the ones I have seen on here. Never had one but I fancy a new rider for the summer.

Excellent quality, great riding frame and could take a hell of a beating but at the end of the day most of these old frames have achilles heels which age exploits, not having a hole at the bottom of the seat tube was a design flaw IMO.

If I was in the market for any frame I wouldn't buy one that has been refinished unless the project was documented with pics, with og chrome it's easier to see if a frame has had a hard life.

Popular with iffy quality is Hutch territory.

They were also prone to cracking around the top of the seat post tube , where the rear end fixes.
