GT Vertigo Year and Bars ID
« on: November 19, 2012, 11:43 PM »
I picked up a Vertigo today off the bay, just down the road so nice and handy :)

It came with these bars which I know didnt come on this model.....Any ideas what they are?  I dont want them on there so will probably sell/trade them to get some GT ones:


Also, this is the complete bike that I picked up....its got some pretty decent parts to be fair....Weinmann rims on ACS hubs etc.  Im trying to suss out what year it would be?  I know its a pre '95 as I used to have a 95 performer which pretty much ran the same frame designs at the same time.  But from what I can see it could be anything from a 91 to a 94??

The serial number is: YC4H3515.

The bloke I bought it from thought that it might be a 94.  The ACS hubs are stamped 92 but i guess that probably wont indicate the date.

Ill send Costa a pm :)

Any idea what the bars are though?

That is definitely a 94. Looks to be in pretty good survivor condition as well with not too many original bits missing.  :daumenhoch:

Yeah it really is a decent survivor to be fair, I need to give it a good polish etc to bring it up nice and then ill look to getting a few of the standard parts I think.

I know theyre original but im not really feeling the decals :( ...I was contemplating removing them and fitting some earlier peformer/world tour ones?  I dunno?? lol.

Gav, how about leaving the original decals on it, but slapping a crap load of mid-school stickers on the frame - like Ride stickers, G-Sport, Hookups etc - would look the part then, and you could always take em off eventually should you wish to part with t'bike  :daumenhoch:
