GT Karakoram 1991 18” frame and forks on eBay, not cheap but might be worth it to someone ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315786642138?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=bktsunb4tna&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=d2zLQnRbQvW&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

My first bike failure was when I was only about 7 or 8 years old and I had been riding this 20" wheeled folding bike around a circuit for a good while and then all of a sudden the bike broke in half causing me to crash rather badly. The weld had come undone from the plate at the joint. Can't...

those original flip flop stems are hard to find, I'd love to get one in yellow for my Bravado !

Looking at the stem arrangement, is that a Ahead type GT flip flop stem with a quill to ahead type adapter?

I found a non marked (sold as Velo branded) saddle with rivets for my GT Bravado for a tenner on eBay, including shipping. It has a rounded nose rather than the more beveled nose on the San Marco Regal, which I have on my Pantera AL.

Enjoy your parenthood!

No, it was Deore LX cranks and hubs.

Thank you for that info, I may end up going for Deore XT as there seems to be more for sale on eBay. However if anyone on this great forum has one for sale at a reasonable price I might take them up on the offer.

As for the chainset, I am looking to get a period correct Shimano Deore DX or XT, I know the original spec was Deore DX, but I would be happy with either, depending on how much I'll end up spending. How much difference is there between the Deore DX and XT, apart from weight?

It is going to be the cheaper option as I already have XT thumbies (freebie from my volunteer workshop, ended up in the bin and was lucky to snatch them before disappearing in the big waste bin!) The wheels as in the photos were also from the same workshop, I paid a tenner for the wheels! XT...

Still on the look out for for other parts, but money's a bit tight atm. However I am in two minds whether I should put my XT Thumbshifters and matching brake levers, or try to locate a nice set of Shimano Deore XT MO-95 shifters/levers combo, as they were fitted originally according the...

Recently acquired an different stem for my Bravado, also a new seatpost, saddle and seat clamp. Still have more parts to find.

I have seen that one and probably have shared on here too.

Looks very good! Alas, I am already spending my money on the same year's Bravado!

Sadly no actual photos of my bike to share, but my first mtb/atb was a 1988 Dawes Tracker, green and white frame with Suntour components. The only photos I did take at the time were on a camera before the digital age and they didn't get backed up.

Same here, I owned a 1993 Zaskar I built up from a frame and spent nearly 2k before selling it, biggest regret ever!
