Beautiful time capsule of a Bike. The GT Edge is one of the most beautiful (IMO) frames ever built in the US with its signature triple triangle, elegant curved stays, Henry James dropouts, and pure art hand filleted brazing. These were hand built in Colorado, and being one of the earlier runs was constructed with the premium French Excell tube set. And if that were not enough, the Edge bikes come with the pedigree ranging from the US National team, to the tour de France with Lotto. A true racing classic and a work of art. This example is in superb condition for a steel bike of its age, has great original paint, and still straight as an arrow – no rash and never crashed. This bike is equipped with top shelf and period correct components to complete your classic racing rig. A little history, I purchased this ‘94 frame and ‘97 campy groupset new back when I worked as a tech at a bike shop back in the 90’s. I personally aligned the frame (didn’t need it), honed/squared head tube and BB, all threads chased, and the component mating surfaces hand filed to prevent paint chipping. I also gave the inside of the frame a light coating of rust preventative to assure it stayed preserved. I just went through the entire bike and removed everything to clean, lube, and adjust: everything works as it should. All of the consumables have a lot of life left in them: Cogs, rings, and break pads. This bike is fully tuned and ready to ride Specs:
