Not yet... First time I've tried pinstriping, not sure how it's going to turn out. :? Besides which, I'm concerned about upsetting the GT purists! :lol: :lol:

Stuck the decals on my GT project and started the pinstriping.

I had an old bottle of SU carburetor pot oil in the shed which I started using - turned out to be perfect for the daily hack. :o Have since finished it, and tried 3in1 for the last few months, which is rubbish. Think I'll invest in some Finish Line after reading some of the above.

Can't find my vernier gauge. I've rooted through the shed, tool boxes, study (boxroom crammed with junk) without success. I can dimly remember using it to poke something recently. But the details keep evading me. Maybe another beer will bring it into focus. :?

Genius! You a plumber by trade? Did you fill the lower pipework with anything to give it a heavy base?

I take it that now they've been shortened they cannot be returned to the original length?

A scary tale, glad it all turned out well.

I've always fancied a pair of wooden ones too. :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/92488036@N00/4012709715/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/fastboy/428418190/

Whilst searching for info on an old GT. An old thread came up in the search results and the rest is history... :)

Hi guys, Been a member for a couple of weeks now, having posted a picture of my 'new' GT frame. Mostly knock around town on a fixie (see signature). Up until recently I had my brother's cast-off 2003 Specialized Rockhopper which I had rejuvinated and used sporadically. Sadly he demanded...

Very nice looking build. 'scuse my ignorance, but what's the mechanism at the front where the front mech normaly goes?

Sounds like you've got your eye on it and are sweating that one of us is going to gazump you! Hence this thinly veiled double bluff... :lol:

Don't know if this makes sense, but if you can "feel" the creaks through the cranks/pedals I'd agree with CAS, likely to be your BB.

Not so much in love with nineties tech, just happened to be the time when I found everything I really liked :D Real Ale There was a real craze for it back in the early nineties. Can't beat a pint of IPA, (though Timothy Taylor's Landlord runs a close second). Old Cars Four cars 1973-80, only...

Had a Scott Yekora few years back. Wish I hadn't sold it. :(

Serial number is: S8HK16793. Is there a GT register somewhere to check against? Thanks RE measuring BB - def. a 73mm - don't know what crank set I'm using yet.

Thanks guys, I've got no interest in dressing it up as a high spec GT - Just going to kit it out with whatever I've got in the spares box (plus an obligitory trip to the bike station). Hopefully have it built in time for October in Glentress. Already peeled off the battered GT stickers...

Cheers guys. 25 notes. Apparently what he'd paid for it previously. Quite chuffed. Without digging out a verner gauge, I think it's the latter. Will do some proper investigation once I've earned some brownie points with the missus: window sills need painting, lawn cutting etc. etc. :(
