This one hits deep. As a kid, I always dreamed of owning a teal or white GT Timberline — it was the bike that lit a fire in me. Fast forward nearly 30 years, and after 8 solid months of searching, Ebay, FB marketplace and Kijiji one finally surfaced locally. No hesitation. I jumped on it.
To me, the condition is unreal for its age. As soon as I got it home, I couldn’t wait — started stripping off the old parts and fitting in some fresh upgrades before doing a full teardown to clean, grease, and dial in every bearing.
26×2.25 fits too!
Not bad for $70 CAD. Childhood dream: unlocked !

Nicely done!
I lusted for one back in the day as well. Gnarly logos, some had splatter paint jobs. I didn’t care that one of the “triangles” was actually a trapezoid.
