Bike Of The Day: Derrick’s 1991 GT Auburn CR 20rx

Today’s Bike Of The Day is a 1991 GT Auburn CR 20rx and it looks pretty sick! This is the first time an Auburn is featured on the series Bike Of The Day so big shout out to Derrick Moorer for submitting this one! Be sure to give this one a rating for Bike Of The Month and Bike Of The Year.

As a kid, the Auburn CR 20rx was my dream ride. When my older brothers reignited their passion for building bikes, I knew exactly which frame I wanted. But the theme didn’t come together—until I picked up an Invicta TechnoMarine Swiss watch. Its mother-of-pearl white, gold, and Oil Slick accents sparked something. I’d never seen a bike like that. From that moment, the vision was clear—and the rest was history. ~ Derrick Moorer
