1993 GT Bravado LE
When it comes to intimidating the competition, the Bravado LE is the ticket. This aggressive bike delivers performance to all who ride it.
Description
The 1993 GT Bravado LE is a high-specification mountain bike built around a TIG pulse-welded True Temper GTX heat-treated double-butted chromoly frame featuring GT’s Triple Triangle design with even-tapered seatstays and chainstays. The fork is either GT’s own triple-butted “Bologna Lite” chromoly unit with 27mm tapered blades and an oversize 1-1/8″ steerer, or an optional Rock Shox MAG21 suspension fork depending on build spec.
Drivetrain duties fall entirely to Shimano Deore XT, including Rapid-Fire Plus shifters, 21-speed dual SIS derailleurs, and anatomically sized crankarms with SG-X chainrings. Mavic M-231 silver anodised rims laced to 26-inch Panaracer tires round out a build aimed squarely at capable trail riding. Six frame sizes accommodate a wide range of riders.
