A mate of mine has got a GT Mini from the early 80s with a Euro BB - will try to get some more details and a pic

Post by: se on August 14, 2007, 09:41 AM: I am pretty sure Geoff Schofield raced an 82 GT mini in the back half of 1982 and first half of 1983, inc the Slagharen worlds in 83. I am worried I even remember that though, given I tend to forget to pay things like bills.

Post by: AndyDiamond on August 18, 2007, 08:00 AM: They certainly did make a mini back then.

Very nice bikes.

Post by: mcam on August 23, 2007, 11:48 AM: GT did make a Mini, but it was called the Junior.

They did 26, 24, Junior 24 (from 82 onwards), Pro, Expert and Junior.

Here is my 1981 Junior sitting infront of its grandpappy, the GT 26 (which is a 1981).

I'm going to start work on that one later in the year. Juniors from 81 through to 83 where only available to the public in chrome. Though AC's black 1982 (or 83?) Junior above looks killer :)
