Title: CAR BOOT SALE FIND THIS MORNING. GT ???
Post by: dordymush on May 16, 2010, 12:43 PM
had a mooch round the local boot sale this morning and came across this.
its light as a feather and nice welds.
seat tube through the top tube with a flat end.
theres what i think is the serial number on the left rear drop out that looks like 2840381 or poss the last ones a 4.theres also a single smaller 4 at the front the drop.
it needs a bit of work but would like to know what it is.looks mini or expert size.top tubes 18,1/2 inch.
have a look for me.

the 4 at the front of the dropout does make it a pro (defo) - I think its an 84 going on the rest of the serial number.

the only thing that made me think it was a 1 and not a 4 is it has a line across the bottom on the digit where the other 4 i can see in the number has'nt its just straight down.
or is this how they were i wonder.

its deffo a 1 i just rubbed it with a bit of sand paper and it showed up better.is that how to date it the last numbers then .

2 = February, 84 = 1984, 0381 its sequence of production and as already said 4 is Pro. If it's a 1 fook knows
