PROXY STATEMENT
---------------

INTRODUCTION

This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the
solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of GT Bicycles, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), for use at its 1997 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders ("Annual Meeting") to be held on June 3, 1997, at 10:00 A.M., at
The Sutton Place Hotel, 4500 MacArthur Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. It
is contemplated that this solicitation of proxies will be made exclusively by
mail; however, if it should appear desirable to do so in order to ensure
adequate representation at the meeting, directors, officers and employees of the
Company may communicate with stockholders, brokerage houses and others by
telephone, telegraph or in person to request that proxies be furnished and may
reimburse banks, brokerage houses, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for
their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners
of the shares held by them. All expenses incurred in connection with this
solicitation shall be borne by the Company.

Holders of shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value ("Common Stock") of
the Company ("stockholders") who execute proxies retain the right to revoke them
at any time before they are voted. Any proxy given by a stockholder may be
revoked or superseded by executing a later dated proxy, by giving notice of
revocation to the Secretary, GT Bicycles, Inc., 2100 East Dyer Road, Santa Ana,
California 92705, in writing prior to or at the meeting or by attending the
meeting and voting in person. A proxy, when executed and not so revoked, will be
voted in accordance with the instructions given in the proxy. If a choice is not
specified in the proxy, the proxy will be voted "FOR" the Class II nominees for
election of directors named in this Proxy Statement, "FOR" the amendment of the
1993 Incentive Stock Option, Nonqualified Stock Option and Restated Purchase
Plan and "FOR" the ratification of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as the Company's
independent certified public accountants. This Proxy Statement is first being
mailed to stockholders on or about May 5, 1997.

VOTING SECURITIES

The shares of Common Stock constitute the only outstanding class of
voting securities of the Company. Only the stockholders of the Company of record
as of the close of business on April 22,1997 (the "Record Date"), will be
entitled to vote at the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. As
of the Record Date, there were 9,796,499 shares of Common Stock outstanding and
entitled to vote. No shares of the Company's preferred stock, $0.001 par value,
were outstanding. A majority of shares entitled to vote represented in person or
by proxy will constitute a quorum at the meeting. Each stockholder is entitled
to one vote for each share of Common Stock held as of the Record Date.
Abstentions and broker non-votes are each included in the determination of the
number of shares present and voting for the purpose of determining whether a
quorum is present. Abstentions will be treated as shares present and entitled to
vote for purposes of any matter requiring the affirmative vote of a majority or
other proportion of the shares present and entitled to vote. With respect to
shares relating to any proxy as to which a broker non-vote is indicated on a
proposal, those shares will not be considered present and entitled to vote with
respect to any such proposal. Abstentions or broker non-votes or other failures
to vote will have no such effect in the election of directors, who will be
elected by a plurality of the affirmative votes cast. With respect to any matter
brought before the Annual Meeting requiring the affirmative vote of a majority
or other proportion of the outstanding shares, an abstention or broker non-vote
will have the same effect as a vote against the matter being voted upon.

PROPOSAL ONE

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Currently, there are four (4) members of the Board of Directors. The
Company's bylaws provide for a classified Board of Directors with one class of
directors elected each year for a term extending to the third succeeding annual
meeting after such election. Accordingly, the director in Class II, Geoffrey S.
Rehnert, holds office until the 1997 annual meeting of stockholders, the
directors in Class III, Michael C. Haynes and Joseph J. Pretlow, hold office
until the 1998 annual meeting of stockholders, and the director in Class I,
Robert C. Gay, holds office until the 1999 annual meeting of stockholders. There
is currently a vacancy in Class II. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy
holders named in the enclosed proxy will vote the proxies received by them for
the Class II nominees named below. One of the Class II nominees, Mr. Rehnert, is
presently a director of the Company. The other Class II nominee is William K.
Duehring, the Company's Chief Operating Officer.

If either nominee becomes unavailable for any reason before the
election, the enclosed proxy will be voted for the election of such substitute
nominee, if any, as shall be designated by the Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors has no reason to believe that either nominee will be unavailable to
serve.

Under Delaware law, the nominees receiving the highest number of votes
will be elected as directors at the annual meeting. As a result, proxies voted
to "Withhold Authority," which will be counted, and broker non-votes, which will
not be counted, will have no practical effect.

The names and certain information concerning the nominees for election
as directors and the other directors continuing in office are set forth below.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE ELECTION OF THE
NOMINEES NAMED BELOW.

to the executive compensation policies established by the Board of Directors and
compensation paid or awarded to executive officers for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996.

COMPENSATION POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES

In establishing and evaluating the effectiveness of compensation
programs for executive officers, as well as other employees of the Company, the
Board of Directors is guided by three basic principles:

o The Company must offer competitive salaries to be able to attract
and retain highly-qualified and experienced executives and other
management personnel.

o Annual executive compensation in excess of base salaries should
be tied to individual and Company performance.

o The financial interests of the Company's executive officers
should be aligned with the financial interests of the
stockholders, primarily through stock option grants which reward
executives for improvements in the market performance of the
Company's Common Stock.

Salaries and Employee Benefits Programs. In order to retain executives
and other key employees, and to be able to attract additional well-qualified
executives when the need arises, the Company strives to offer salaries, and
health care and other employee benefit programs, to its executives and other key
employees that are comparable to those offered to persons with similar skills
and responsibilities by competing businesses in the local geographic area.

In recommending salaries and bonuses for executive officers and other
key employees, the Board of Directors considers both the Company's overall
performance as well as the individual's performance and informally reviews
available information, including information published in secondary sources,
regarding prevailing salaries and compensation programs offered by competing
businesses that are comparable to the Company in terms of size, revenue,
financial performance and industry group.

In order to retain qualified management personnel, the Company has
followed the practice of seeking to promote executives from within the Company
whenever practicable. The Board of Directors believes that this policy enhances
employee morale and provides continuity of management. Typically, modest salary
increases are made in conjunction with such promotions.

Performance-Based Compensation. The Board of Directors believes that the
motivation of executives and key employees increases as the market value of the
Company's Common Stock increases. Nevertheless, the Company provides a merit
bonus in cash or stock options to executives and key employees which is
dependent on the Company's achievements and the direct contributions made by
each executive and other key employees. Accordingly, at the beginning of each
fiscal year, the Company establishes short term and long term plans, and at the
end of the fiscal year, the collective and individual contributions of the
executives to the Company's achievements are evaluated.

In certain instances, bonuses are awarded not only on the basis of the
Company's overall strategic accomplishments, but also on the achievement by an
executive of specific objectives within his or her area of responsibility. For
example, a bonus may be awarded for any executive's efforts in achieving greater
than anticipated cost savings, or completing a new product on target.

Stock Options and Equity-Based Programs. In order to align the financial
interests of executive officers and other key employees with those of the
stockholders, the Company grants stock options to its executive officers

DEF 14A 12th Page of 19 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 12th

and other key employees on a periodic basis, taking into account the size and
terms of previous grants of equity-based compensation and stock holdings in
determining awards. Stock option grants, in particular, reward executive
officers and other key employees for performance that results in increases in
the market price of the Company's Common Stock, which directly benefit all
stockholders. Moreover, the Board of Directors generally has followed the
practice of granting options on terms which provide that the options become
exercisable in cumulative annual installments, generally over a three to
five-year period. The Board of Directors believes that this feature of the
option grants not only provides an incentive for executive officers to remain in
the employ of the Company, but also makes longer term growth in share prices
important for the executives who receive stock options.

Profit Sharing Plan. All employees who have worked for the Company at
least twelve (12) months are eligible to participate in the profit sharing plan
(the "Plan"). The Company makes annual contributions to the Plan at the
discretion of the Board of Directors. The amount of the profit sharing allocated
to participants is dependent upon their base compensation levels and the length
of time during the fiscal year that they are employed by the Company. Each
eligible participant's allocation of the Company's profit sharing contribution
is deposited into an established individual profit sharing account. Company
contributions deposited into profit sharing accounts for each employee become
fully vested after six years of service or upon retirement, death or disability.
Benefits are generally payable following retirement, disability, death, hardship
or termination of employment.
Executive officers participate in the Plan.

FISCAL YEAR 1996 COMPENSATION

The Chief Executive Officer's and other executive officers' compensation
are based on Employment Agreements that provide for an annual base salary with
annual increases and annual bonuses based on the Company's attainment of certain
net income. The agreements have three to five year terms ending on October 31,
1998 and November 30, 1999 and may be terminated by the Company with or without
cause as defined in the agreements. Mr. Haynes received an annual base salary of
$232,701 from January 1, 1996 to September 30, 1996 and $312,000 from October 1,
1996 to December 31, 1996. Mr. Haynes received a bonus of $70,000 in 1996 based
on the Company's net income.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company's Board of
Directors established the levels of compensation for the Company's executive
officers. Michael C. Haynes, a director and the President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, participated in the deliberations of the Board regarding
executive compensation, but did not participate in proceedings or decisions of

PROPOSAL TWO

AMENDMENT TO THE 1993 PLAN TO INCREASE THE
TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE THEREUNDER

INTRODUCTION

The Board of Directors adopted and the stockholders of the Company
originally approved by written consent the 1993 Incentive Stock Option,
Nonqualified Stock Option and Restricted Stock Purchase Plan (the "1993 Plan")
in March 1994. Subject to approval by the Company's stockholders, the Board of
Directors amended the 1993 Plan in April 1997 to increase the authorized number
of shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder by 340,000 shares and to reserve
the additional shares for issuance under the 1993 Plan, bringing the total
number of shares of Common Stock subject to the 1993 Plan to 1,000,000.

Approval of the amendments to the 1993 Plan will require the affirmative
vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
present or represented at the annual meeting of stockholders and entitled to
vote thereat. Proxies solicited by management for which no specific direction is
included will be voted FOR the amendment of the 1993 Plan to add 340,000 shares
of Common Stock to the pool of shares reserved for issuance thereunder.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE AMENDMENT TO THE 1993
PLAN.

The principal features of the 1993 Plan are summarized below, but the
summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 1993 Plan itself.
Copies of the 1993 Plan can be obtained by writing to the Secretary, GT
Bicycles, Inc., 2001 East Dyer Road, Santa Ana, California 92705.

1993 PLAN TERMS

The 1993 Plan provides currently for the grant by the Company of options
and/or rights to purchase up to an aggregate of 660,000 shares of Common Stock
of the Company to its officers, directors, key employees, consultants and other
business persons having important business relationships with the Company, or
any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company. As of the Record Date,
approximately six (6) executive officers and directors of the Company and
approximately 730 other employees were eligible to participate. The purpose of
the 1993 Plan is to enable the Company to attract and retain persons of ability
as employees, officers, directors and consultants and to motivate such persons
by providing them with an equity participation in the Company. The 1993 Plan
expires in November 2003 unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors.

The 1993 Plan provides that it is to be administered by the Board of
Directors or a committee appointed by the Board. Presently, the Company's Board
of Directors administers the 1993 Plan (the "Administrator"). The Administrator
has broad discretion to determine the persons entitled to receive options and/or
rights to purchase under the 1993 Plan, the terms and conditions on which
options and/or rights to purchase are granted and the number of shares subject
thereto. The Administrator also has discretion to determine the nature of the
consideration to be paid upon the exercise of an option and/or right to purchase
granted under the 1993 Plan. Such consideration may generally consist of cash or
shares of Common Stock of the Company or, in the case of rights to purchase, a
promissory note.

Options granted under the 1993 Plan may be either "incentive stock
options," within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"), or "nonqualified stock options," as determined by the Administrator.
Options may be granted under the 1993 Plan for terms of up to ten (10) years.
The exercise price of options and the purchase price of rights to purchase must
be at least equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock of the Company as
of the date of grant. No optionee may be granted incentive stock options under
the 1993 Plan to the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined as
of the date of grant) of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which
incentive options are exercisable for the first time by the optionee during any

DEF 14A 15th Page of 19 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 15th

calendar year would exceed $100,000. There is no limitation on the amount of
nonqualified stock options and/or rights to purchase granted under the 1993
Plan. Options granted under the 1993 Plan to officers, employees, directors, or
consultants of the Company may be exercised only while the optionee is employed
or retained by the Company or within three to six months after termination for
any reason, with the exact date of expiration to be determined by the
Administrator.

Upon the occurrence of a consolidation or merger in which the Company is
not the surviving corporation, the sale of substantially all of the Company's
assets and certain other similar events, the 1993 Plan provides that the 1993
Plan itself and all outstanding options shall terminate unless provision is made
in writing for the continuance of the 1993 Plan and for the assumption of
outstanding options and rights to purchase previously granted. In the event that
the outstanding shares of Common Stock while the 1993 Plan is in effect are
increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or
kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of merger,
consolidation or reorganization in which the Company is the surviving
corporation, or of a recapitalization, stock split, combination of shares,
reclassification, reincorporation, stock dividend (in excess of 2%) or of
another change in the corporate structure of the Company, appropriate
adjustments will be made by the Board of Directors to the aggregate number and
kind of shares subject to the 1993 Plan and the number and kind of shares and
the price per share subject to outstanding incentive options, nonqualified
options and rights to purchase in order to preserve, but not to increase, the
benefits to persons then holding incentive options, nonqualified options or
rights to purchase.

Payment for shares upon exercise of an option or upon issuance of
restricted stock must be made in full at the time of exercise, or issuance with
respect to restricted stock. The form of consideration payable upon exercise of
an option or purchase of restricted stock shall, at the discretion of the
Compensation Committee, be (i) by tender of United States dollars in cash, check
or bank draft; (ii) subject to any legal restriction against the Company's
acquisition or purchase of the Company's shares of Common Stock, shares of
Common Stock, which shall be deemed to have a value equal to the aggregate fair
market value of such shares determined on the date of exercise or purchase as
described in the immediately preceding paragraph hereof; (iii) by the issuance
of a promissory note acceptable to the Compensation Committee; or (iv) pursuant
to other methods described in the 1993 Plan.

As of the Record Date, options to purchase an aggregate of 566,011
shares of Common Stock (net of canceled options) have been granted under the
1993 Plan to the following persons or groups: (i) Michael C. Haynes, 75,000
shares; (ii) William K. Duehring, 50,000 shares, (iii) all current executive
officers (as a group), 185,000 shares; and (iv) all other employees who are not
executive officers (as a group), 381,011 shares.

FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE 1993 PLAN

The following is a brief summary of the tax effects under the Code that
may accrue to participants in the 1993 Plan.

Incentive Stock Options. No taxable income will be recognized by an
optionee under the 1993 Plan upon either the grant or the exercise of an
incentive stock option; provided the optionee holds the stock for at least two
years after the grant of the options and one year after the exercise of the
option. If an incentive stock option is exercised more than three months after a
termination due to retirement, it will be treated as a sale or other disposition
of the shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option, and the tax
treatment of the gain or loss realized will depend upon how long the shares were
held before their sale or disposition. The Company receives no tax benefit from
incentive stock options granted unless the optionee fails to meet the holding
requirements set forth above.

Nonqualified Stock Options. No taxable income is recognized by an
optionee upon the grant of a nonqualified stock option. Upon exercise, however,
the optionee will recognize ordinary income in the amount by which the fair
market value of the shares purchased, on the date of exercise, exceeds the
exercise price paid for such shares. The income recognized by the optionee will
be subject to income tax withholding by the Company out of the optionee's
current compensation. If such compensation is insufficient to pay the taxes due,
the optionee will be required to make a direct payment to the Company for the
balance of the tax withholding obligation. The

DEF 14A 16th Page of 19 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 16th

Company will be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary
income recognized by the optionee, provided the applicable withholding
requirements are satisfied.

Restricted Stock. The receipt of restricted stock will not result in a
taxable event until the applicable period(s) of restriction lapse, unless the
participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed as of
the date of grant. If a Section 83(b) election is made, the participant will
recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market
value of such shares on the date of grant over the amount paid for such shares.
If no amount is paid for such shares, the participant will recognize ordinary
income in an amount equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date of
the grant. Even if the amount paid and the fair market value of the shares are
the same (in which case there would be no ordinary income), a Section 83(b)
election must be made to avoid deferral of the date ordinary income is
recognized. If no Section 83(b) election is made, a taxable event will occur on
each date the participant's ownership rights vest (i.e., when the period(s) of
restriction lapse) as to the number of shares that vest on that date, and the
holding period for long-term capital gain purposes will not commence until the
date the shares vest. The participant will recognize ordinary income on each
date shares vest in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of
such shares on that date over the amount paid for such shares.
