Here's one my buddy just scored at E-town....

..Seems to be original. Thing is I don't remember this color. It seems to be like a Chevy Hugger orange. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Chris

85 1/2ish. 84 colors were just white, yellow or chrome.

Whats the serial and where is it at?
I have noticed too, on the underside of the rear tube that has the "GT 4130", there are sometimes one air hole or two air holes. Your two frames that I have now, have one. My Eddie build has two.

its pretty wild, I dont remember ever seeing a orange GT w/ the early decals.
probably wasnt a popular color that year, so not to many made ??

no idea of the year, they all run together to me. But I've definitely seen that color back in 85 or 86.
Maybe it was painted or yours is, whatever. But I saw that color.

Thanks all... the frame was found by my friend Tom. He will attend Brian P's BBQ so some of you might meet him. He is a collector and has quite a few bikes.
The serial is on the bottom bracket and is definately foreign 85.
Jon, thanks for the bllock stem....p.m. will be sent.
