Title: Early GT Bars Comparison - Help needed Please.
Post by: Brandy Truffle on November 14, 2007, 01:20 PM

Anybody got side bee side pics of 82/83/84 GT Pro and EXPERT bars so i could see the diff please.
Also any specs welcome. Trying to choose a set to find,but not sure which unless i see them if ya know what i mean.
Also when did GT start stamping them,anyone know?

Seen a few sets on the bay,but either people are selling other bars thinking they are GT or what i dont know,cause they dont seem to look right as i recall....

Any GT Bar experts here? Cheers Guys.

That is a fantastic help so far Paul, thanks. Your GT ones look just like i thought they should.They have a solid,meaty feel to them with a slightly fatter crossbar than most..hmmm. I'm convinced more than ever now ther are some people selling misslabelled bars or trying one on.

Anybody got any other thoughts,please feel free.. :daumenhoch:
