Modern GT bikes feature the bicycle's serial number on the underside of the frame and will be accompanied by a bar code: Vintage and older GT bikes may have serial numbers placed on other areas of the frame such as the seat stays next to the rear dropouts or the head badge.
| Posted: Feb 9, 2015 at 13:46 | Quote | Hi, I'm wondering if you guys can help me ID a GT frame? I have no knowledge of dirt/jump bikes, and that's what I assume it is. The only way I know it's a GT is the pierced seat tube and GT stamp on the end of the top tube.
It has frame number which looks like LI03K0944.
I've added some photos to my profile but can't work out how to put them in this thread.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
EDIT:
It's not a dirt jump bike after all, I don't think. It came with part of a v-brake attached to it, and the brake pad would've struck the rim at about 10' from the dropout. So I'm thinking it's a bmx? GT Pro Series 24 looks like a good candidate, but I have no idea about the year. |

Thanks, that really helped! Comparing with bikes on that site it's definitely a Pro Series 24, and I found a thread which explains the second two characters in the serial number are the 'year ending' - in my case 03, so your link was exactly right! Good job |
