1994 GT Tequesta

a large 1994 GT Tequesta mountain bike with blue/black paint job leans against the back of a sofa. The bike has bull bars, knobby 26" tires, and is in ok shape given it's 30 years old. 1994 GT Mountain Bike Catalog page featuring the Tequesta. 1994 GT Mountain Bike catalog page featuring the colorways available that year

An $80 craigslist find, not bad for a double-butted CrMo frame. Paint is pretty scratched from a lock around the main frame but still looks pretty good. Shifters were sticky and everything needed adjustment.
