Three times heavier than a GT too. I struggled to sell my last '85 F+F for £200. Original chrome and decals too.

After watching Mick's '83 struggle for £180, I think I will hold onto the '85 I now have  :)

I've also noticed that the early frames fetch less than the later 84-86 sets.

I have 2 frame sets and they are lovely. Perhaps they might become fashionable one day!

I agree they are an iconic race frame, however even Pro Burners seem to fetch more dosh.....

I have said this everytime one has come up for sale since this site began, the GT should be top of the tree on par with Skyways n rippers, but they never have matched the prices others command. GTs (IMO, and ive never owned one) are one of the most iconic BITD track bike and one of the most beautifully put together frames ever. I do not have a clue why they are always too cheap and when they are, they don't shift quickly. :-\

I bought my 83 GT Pro a while back now, I think it was my third bike to buildup . I have bought a few more bikes since and I have to admit when there all out in the Sun the GT gets the attention, it's my Favourite bike to ride and its  for me the most Iconic frame design no doubt.

To see this thread it also puzzles me in terms of values compared to other frame sets, I believe there worthy to be on par with the Rippers and the Skyways, they might even be better......  :whistle:

They are definately more 'wearing' than a Ripper IMO and I would say better to ride than a standard TA but I think the TA XL would be better.

I was having a good look over my '85 today thinking of parting it but am unsure now. It just looks so right, if you know what I mean  :)
