I had one of these from I guess 1993 until 2004, when mercifully it got pinched. Never saw a bit of offroad in its life! But having it stolen got me into biking so thank you to the cheeky ned who took it 😉

I too had a Falcon Pro, upgraded with red Skyway Tuff IIs, ACS Potts Mod brakes and Renthal bars. I've been trying to trace its whereabouts recently, as a friend has convinced me I need to go BMX racing with him.

Sadly I fear the bike may be landfill, as I think it got sold to some family friends, then given back to my dad once their son grew out of it, then sold again.

"where did the boy Gary go wrong."
Richard Long, the business side of GT, died in 1996. The company then merged with Schwinn and went into decline soon after that.

Yo Grant...the Overbury was stolen from my house in summer 92. But was recovered in the autumn of the same year. As I'd already replaced it with a Specialized M2, I sold it on to a fella who lived in Nailsea nr Bristol. I'd love to know it's whereabouts now too. It was custom built for me from Colombus Nivachrom and full Campag.

1990 Pine Mountain. Still ride it. Terrible geometry compared to now-a-days, but some fond memories of adventures on it.

[b]Orange Clockwork 1991[/b]
Not mine but very similar (mine had: manitou 2's, tioga revolver cranks then some cook bros bones (?), smoke lites, super narrow x-lite bars, a variety of bar-ends, purple USE post, diacompe 987/ss5) It ended up being pretty light and (in hindsight) pretty damn awful to ride!

squin - Loving that Pine Mountain. The rubberised grey paint frame finish was awesome and mega tuff! My first real mtb. Oh! the memories.

Thanks Coleman. now got Trailrakers on for the winter. Can you believe that everything is still original apart from pedals, saddle and now trailrakers? Paint never chipped in all these years and the bike has been well ridden. I only used to wash the frame about once every 6 months and when I did I'd get the scrubbing brush on it.

Slimtubing - The Eldridge Grade was a really nice bike too. My mate had one and like you rode it as his only bike for about 8/9 years. Marin's were crackin bikes back then - still pretty good now-a-days but just have a non fashionable name currently.
