The FS Stamp Meaning - GT

The true meaning of the FS stamp on the GT bikes. Its origin and what it means to the community. FS simply means Freestyle. It was used on the original Performer to differentiate it from the racing bikes. That carried over to the other freestyle frames like the Pro Performer, the Pro World Tour, the Pro Freestyle Tour and the Team Model. Not all of the frames received the FS stamp.

In addition to this video a fellow GT owner presented a photo of his early 1989 Aggressor that had the FS stamp instead of the A. Now there are two possible reasons for this; 1) factory error grabbing the wrong dropout when welding. 2) GT was very confused about the aggressor in the beginning and some photos of it in ads show it with PFT decals. Another ad has no decals at all. Regardless GT might have considered it freestyle at first before making the change to Aggressor model abbreviation. What it does mean and proves is that Gary misspoke in the video. We all can agree that 1989 Aggressors were USA built being prototypes at that moment in time. So FS being stamped contradicts Gary’s FS = made overseas answer he gave.

Great video and curated clips Tony! Thank you again, these have been great to watch and enjoy. In my short study of PPs/PFTs since 2021 I fully agree with your summary statements at the end, they had to have been making so many bikes in late 87 into 88 the FS stamp had to be haphazard with bigger fish to fry.

On the comment about PFTs, pro performers etc.. built in the USA....What about the Japanese built world tours? there are world tours out there with bottom bracket serials and dual cable guides on fork??

[@atrains]

What about them specifically are you referring to?

[@shtdaprdtr]

I was under the impression by the video..(maybe I missed something) that they were only built in U.S.?
