Selling a museum-tier piece of New England cycling history: Mark McCormack’s personal Team Saturn GT Time Trial bike from the 1997-1998 pro season.
Mark McCormack is a legend in the sport—the first rider to ever hold the US National Championship titles in both Road and Cyclocross in a single career. This bike was his weapon during the peak of the dominant Saturn Cycling Team era.
Provenance & Authenticity:
The Seat Mast: Features the authentic, pro-mechanic "team-cut" seat mast. These custom Longmont, Colorado-built GT frames were never sold to the public; they were physically sawed to fit the rider’s exact measurements (verified by Mark McCormack in historical documentation).
The Tape: Original white finishing tape residue is still present—a signature detail of the Saturn team’s "Project ‘96" setup.
The Branding: Features the era-correct "Saturn" decals over the original GT frame logos—a common practice during the team's transition between bike sponsors.
Rider ID: Original "Mark McCormack" name decal is intact on the frame.
Specs:
Frame: Custom Team-Issue Aluminum (GT Project ‘96 / GT Edge lineage). Custom pro geometry.
Drivetrain: Period-correct Shimano groupset.
Wheels & Tires: Shimano/Mavic paired-spoke wheelset (700c wheel size with classic 700x23c narrow racing tires).
Saddle: Original Selle Italia "Genuine Gel" team-issue saddle.
Condition Note:
This bike is sold strictly as Memorabilia / Wall-Hanger. Due to the authentic pro-team modifications to the seat mast, it is in "as-raced" condition and should be considered unsafe to ride without a professional restoration and structural inspection. No pedals included.
