Here's a new build that I just finished. It is presumably from around 1989 judging from the parts. It's it had some pretty unusual components but it has been upgraded with some more modern (well, from the nineties still lol) parts for better functionality. The rear U-brake is still there and works surprisingly well.
If you want to see some more pictures of this, or my other builds, please check my bike blog:

Nice build! Interesting crank with the 1x chainring
how do you like that rack
Bike brother! I also have a grey gt with a seatstay u-brake that I thought I finished today but every time I rode around my yard I noticed the u-brake was not working well and after re tensioning and tightening the shit out of all the pinch bolts involved multiple times… I finally realized that my compressionless housing did the one thing it wasn’t supposed to… compressioned.. so almost done.. just need some more housing and probably a new cable too since I crushed it at the pinch bolt because I thought it kept coming loose

The decal font and rear crossover cable guide say this is a ’90.
I love this build, super clean Tequesta!
Just talked to some scientists: this is what an anatomically correct bike *should look like*
That bike screams Pittsburgh…. Sweet!
