    1997 GT Edge Aero

    got to admit that bar end shifters on an aero bike do seem a bit odd. but otherwise, a nice build as usual. oh and @bikeworkshop I agree with the rest. "Brooks saddles, bromptons, thumbies, e-stays, delta brakes, yeti etc attract the "buy-in" where the owner won't stop telling you how...

    half arsed. needs a fat tyre to the rear as well. which requires a new swingarm. which means the only bit left that's a klein is the top tub. which is about the right amount of Klein. :)
