otherbikes001.jpg = GT - pics 2 and 3 look like the same GT frame from different angles...
No idea on the other two. Close up shots of the brake bridge, and dropouts on the other chrome frame *might* help with the ID...
Any serial numbers on the two mystery frames? That *might* help with an ID as well.

Here is a secret...the yellow frame is the keeper. I'm not exactly sure what it is but it's old circa 78-82. Maybe a CYC storm ? Hold onto that frame !!!

The yellow frame has a chainguard tab on the seat stay, sure sign of a cheapie dept store brand.

I got out of racing in 86. SO I dont think the first one is a GT. Heres why.
The down tube goes from oval at the head tube to round at the bottom bracket. GTs were a straight round tube..
The end of the top tube on GTs were also capped completly and stamped with the GT logo. This one has a hole in the middle.
The pictured frame was also built specifically for cantilever brakes on the rear. That is the two mounting points on the rear and cable mounts on the top tube.
Now the rear chain stays and drop outs are ALL wrong.
If GT came out with a different design after I fell out of the loop in 86, I could be wrong.
Im not sure what the frame is...dont dump it!!!! someone will know.

the first one looks to be GT mid 90's with the head tube style could be a higher end model feuler etc etc. the second one take a better picture of the rear drop outs. the third frame is a yellow old frame that needs a paint job and a set of moto mags

The 2 chromies look llike wal-mart mongeese. I`ve seen a pic somewhere of a bike that looked like old yeller there and it seemed like it should be a keeper. Just my $0.02.

The yellow frame is not an ashtabula or a cyc! It is still a mystery!

No Ashtabula and no GT. Last one could be a Mongoose product. Junk in da trunk.

Only the bolonga cut ['84+] GT top tubes were stamped, the straight cut ['82 & older] had no stamped logo.

yup, peugeot cpx, and an early one at that. i have 3 different cpx frames, but none that early. my earliest is a 78, yours is a year earlier. pretty cool. too bad the decals are missing as they are super tough to find (i have yet to find a set). peugeot gets no love, lol.

does anyone have a picture of what it is suppose to look like?

1. Likely Peugeot (I was initially thinking Ross Snapper)
2. Fur'n jobbie. Vent hole in back of top tube and brazed on cable guides are two big clues. Kuwi style drops, but that's no Kuwi.
3. Later GT, 90's, unless someone else blatantly copied the GT rear drop/tubes design.

that one that looks like a GT race frame is not. very similar, though. a real GT should say so - both on the dropouts and the end of the toptube. they should have a reinforced headtube and the downtube should not be ovalized at the ends.
