Possible 1994 GT Talera...
Nice big 21-speed bike and my first GT.
Picked it us a couple of weeks ago covered in a couple of decades of saw dust and find that is a very enjoyable all-terrain bike.
Appears to be all original including the GT saddle and a tall stock handlebar stem.
Ritchey bars may be a later add-on ?

Shifters and RD aren't original along with the bars you mentioned. The color was called "Purple Rain."

GT Talera
Hey Thanks Shelby! I dont know if he even has the bike yet, but Id really like to buy it, IF hes even willing to sell it.
You see, many years ago i had virtually the same bike and someone stole it from my yard probly one of bad kids in the neighborhood....
Nonetheless, the bike had some sentimental value to it for me. sad to see it gone. Now i see that if you look around online, there are people with very similar models...
So.... I saw this one on the forum and i thought Id ask if he may sell it????

Well, actually, I do still have the bike, but it is not for sale.
It is actually still my favourite bike, despite being up against some pretty stiff competition.
Bink
Anyway, it would cost too much to ship. I am in Canada.

Like a lot of these vintage mountain bikes. The utility is worth more than the financial redemption itself

Rad Bike Binky
cooL score. i reaLLy dig gT's. Yours is fabuLous. Thank you for sharing Binky! This is my second GT, ferst one being a timberLine with u-brake, striking Lightening bLack and yeLLow paint, bike bLew me away. That was a 1989 fuLL repack that a bike shop that i was doing a contract for with Trek and SpeciaL'ed was going to throw in the dumpster. I rode two bikes home that day. So the teLera that I just got cauwt my eye months ago when it came into the bike shop i crank at sometimes since I was supposed to buy it back in 2013, weLL the bike was attracted to me however the owner of the shop is so greedy and he aLready owed me a super Le Tour #4649 japan, i punted. Then yesterday i stopped in to get some money that he owed me i went shopping with my rent. i way overpaid for sure. However Like Binky said his isn't for saLe, i gno i want the one igot for that intrinsic vaLue that they gno Longer make, and then there's that coLor which is to die for.
PriceLess, go Binky!
PriceLess, go Binky!
