Explanation of Responses:                                                       

(1) On June 22, 1998, Reporting Person entered into an Agreement and Plan of    
   Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with GT Bicycles, Inc. ("GT") providing for
    the acquisition of GT by Reporting Person (the "Merger"). In connection with
that Agreement, certain institutional stockholders of GT (the           
"Stockholders") granted Reporting Person an option to purchase their    
2,230,081 shares of GT Common Stock (the "Option").                     

 The Option will not become exercisable unless and until certain specified
events ("Purchase Events") occur, including: (i) commencement of a third party  
tender offer, or the filing of a registration statement for an exchange offer,  
the consummation of which would result in a third party having beneficial       
ownership of 50% or more of the outstanding GT Common Stock, (ii) GT or its     
Board of Directors (including any committee of the Board) shall have taken, or  
evidenced the intention of taking, certain specified actions to recommend or    
approve an acquisition proposal from a person other than Reporting Person, or   
the Board shall have withdrawn its recommendation of the Merger, (iii) any      
person (other than Reporting Person and the Stockholders) shall have acquired,  
or shall have acquired the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 50% or more
of the outstanding GT Common Stock or (iv) with respect to a particular         
Stockholder, such Stockholder shall have materially breached its obligations    
under the Option Agreement.                                                     

 The Option terminates on the earliest to occur of: (w) the effective time
of the Merger, (x) the termination of the Merger Agreement by mutual consent,   
(y) the entry of a nonappealable court order restraining, enjoining or          
prohibiting the Merger, and (z) six months following termination of the Merger  
Agreement for any other reason.
