I am curious if anyone knows what manufacturer this is and approx. year.. I am looking to get an around town bike and came across this.. I have a front suspension GT bicycle I love and adore, but my neck isn't as fond of it anymore due to an old bicycle pile up accident back in 1990... A more upright position for extended riding doesn't aggrevate my neck like my GT does... my daughter has a great cruiser I got her and I don't want to sell my GT to buy a cruiser, but I am not interested in buying a piece of junk... Hoping to find manufacturer and approx. year to do some research as to if this is worth anything at all.
See that Internal Cable Routing? That's a relatively new bike. Are any parts (like the saddle) labled Bontrager? It looks like a Trek, to me. Can you make out any writing on the head-tube badge up front?
Can't you rig up your GT with an adjustable stem like the one in the pic, or get a bar with more rise?
It's only "worth anything at all" if it's what you're looking for!
Hey Dave! You beat me by a minute. LOL.
Good link!

Duh! Had a blonde moment realized I had the name wrong on my MTN bike it's a GT Timberline FS. Well tomorrow I go look at bike unless my schedule doesn't jive with the lady who is selling it. She is 22 and says the bike is old! I'm guessing my MTN bike is older. LOL
I just found a pic of a Trek and I think you nailed it! I'm hoping to keep GT intact for camping for myself and kids. We live just north of San Francisco so we are lucky enough to ride nearly all year long
based on the frame design and crankset; I would guess that it is newer that 2000.

WOO HOO 30 bucks and it is a TREK! She was desperate for $ was asking 30. Had it listed as a 7 speed but it's a 21! Tires were flat but the back brakes grip tight it has a horrible rattle can pink paint job. So she is now my Pink ugly duckling. THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE INPUT. Happy to have 2 bicycles again!!!!
7 speed = 7 sprockets in the rear = usually 21 gears (with the three chain rings in the front)... it used to be different, but that was Back When Dinosaurs Ruled Earth... so today's 10 speed drive trains can have 30 gears in total, in contrast to what was called 10 speed in the 70s.
Safe riding!
If your neck still bothers you with the new bike, I suggest cruiser handle bars, they come back much more than what you have.
Why not put cruiser bars, and possibly change the stem on your GT?
