An L-code GT-101 was manufactured in 1968, so it could be a 1968 or 1969 model. I don't have the 1968 literatue but the 1969 poster and that for it's predecessor, the 1967 CCM Cenntenial, both show and mention the Sporty Handlebar, which was CCM's name for the higher rise bar shown in the top photo. I seriously doubt the bar was different for 1968.

The 1968 poster shows the same Sporty Handlebars.

I have an L-code GT101 and used to have 2 others. They all had the Sporty. I don't think I've seen any without.

I just flipped through my folder of 2000+ bicycle pictures. Every GT101 and Centennial had the Sporty.
