What year is this? I am guessing early 90s but I thought maybe someone could get me closer to an aprox year. Here are my questions, if anyone can help I would be grateful. I have little information on it and this is my first gt, like the OP I have always wanted one, I just love the frame design. I just acquired a gt palomar from craiglist. Since it is related I would like to ask a few questions and maybe you guys can help me out a bit. Your bike looks great, I am starting a similar project. Now if I can figure out how to change the thread name. It's a PITA to get the paint off once it's in BB thread and such. Do mask all threads you are planning to use, though. Else I wouldn't have found the serial number. I stripped the paint myself because I wanted to see what's underneath (don't we all ) before covering it up for good. Not worth the effort, cost, and anger from your spouse for evicting her car from the garage for weeks! 90 bucks and letting a pro do it is well worth it. Wet paint takes long time to completely dry, yet forever so soft you can nick the paint even with you fingernails, let alone rocks. No primer needed since the guy gave it 2 coats. PC is not a wet paint, it's a color powder baked in to change the compoud and that makes the paint much stronger. That aspect was more important for me than preserving vintage look (it's Tequesta anyway).

I had it powder coated because the old paint was so beat up and the fact it is a steel frame, I didn't want it to get rusted.
