Re: Re: Love this! I’ve just picked up one of these myself. Did you do the paint job yourself?

I picked up a (I believe) 96 GT Tequesta with the “Afterburner” paint job on it today. Not 100% what I’m going to do with it, it seems to work as it is but could do with a good service. I’m not sure wether to clean everything up with the original parts, possibly re-do the paint job- although...

Re: In fairness, at least it’s something a bit different, unlike “flat bar gravel bikes”... or hybrids as we’ve known them for years!

A very good point. It obviously wasn’t meant to be!

Re: I’m half expecting to see it for sale in a day or two for quadruple the price!

I’ve recently been making a gravel type bike from an bike my parents had sat around in the garden. While trying to do some research on the bike I came across this forum via this viewtopic.php?f=9&t=141351 I realised the bike had virtually all original parts, even down to the red cable outers...

Re: Some may argue I’ve got too much free time... but I was bored so, after a quick google I found this http://www.vintage-trek.com/SerialNumbers.htm 94 seemed like a good starting point at which point I then found this- http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/d/4 ... fisher.pdf

Re: The quill stem adapter method makes the most sense to me... You’d need to use your current top cap and some spacers to hold the system in place, the ones in the adapters (Or certainly on my one) sit flush, because there’s no need to clamp down from the top to hold your fork in place, as it...
