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.
