Title: What year(s) are these bars from
Post by: Frosty on November 20, 2005, 01:04 PM

I have got a pair and am unsure - although the decal is not the early 80's Santa Ana version, that I know!!

They look very much like the bars I used to run on my Freestyler, so, 1983-5 kinda time  :)

With that style decal on the right hand side of the bars instead of the left and what looks like the oval crossbar instead of the round, me thinks 1985/86 ish

Personally, I'd put them even later than that, but I'd be guessing. I'm almost 100% they're later than '85, then they moved to Huntingdon Beach, so I think they would be late 80's, no??

I have a set like that.

I am sure mine have a GT Stamp under the decal.

I paid 17 notes for them in about 1990

I'll check to see if they are stamped, but concensus is 80's bars I think, just not quite what I was after. So if anyone has any GT pro Santa Ana bars black or chrome please let me know.
