Thank you for posting. Interesting bike.

I am no expert about GT Saturn team bikes but I read a little bit up about this bike and the history about the Saturn racing team.

It seems there were the team bikes but also a very similar looking promotion bikes handed out by Saturn dealers. These promotion bikes were of lesser quality and had for example TIG welding and a steel fork instead of a carbon fork.

The welding in the picture looks like TIG and also the position of the Reynolds and Saturn sticker is different (which could of course have changed over the years on team bikes too).

Does anyone has more information about the team bike and how to distinguish it from the promotion bike?
