Looking to find out the build date for this GJS frame.

Serial is 1761

Not sure about the year, but she's sexy! One of those frames that I've only seen one in real life and it was the same color.

i'll say '81 due to the thinner second bar. that's my holy grail right there. awesome!

1980 or 1981, post a pic showing the thickness of the headtube tubing.

man i could really use those lmx pedals......

80-81 because of the thinner tube.

I bought a GJS frame and fork late summer 1980 (worst thing I ever did was trade it for a Patterson), this is a photo of it from 1981, I dont think there were any frame options at the time, just one I recall, might be hard to see details in this photo, let me know if you want a high resolution

Definitely have to go with '81.

Small second gusset is 80/81 model. The "1" as first digit in SN leads me to suggest 1981. But, Greg has noted the flared head tube (I think I see that flare), and there's some definite timeline to that if I've read some of his posts correctly.

Greg Hanna is the man when it comes to GJS.

Thought Utterback was? LOL
