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.

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.
