Jeff Utterback had a side project called JU after GJS closed in
1985. He designed
approximately 250 of these mini frame and forks for riders under
70 pounds.
They were very light but a tad weak on the upsweep down
tube where they would crack. The seat post clamp area had
a hole for the GJS seat post clamp. With the
limited number available and awesome design I thought I would
give the bike a vintage 1979 feel for Jeff's heyday of racing.
Hope you enjoy another historical ride.
