Gil at retro decals done them

My colour was a pearl so slightly more expensive

Yeah wet paint not powered, I supplied the decals and they fitted them, was £280inc delivery back to me, sent the fork lowers up for them to colour match and it’s a perfect match

I just had my explosif painted by bluewhippet and it’s come back perfect, highly recommend them

I only want the wheels/mechs/brakes 🤣, but the bike and I will buy the bits I want 😀

Gt Xizang? Pace ? Gt sts?

What’s the frame worth? I want the groupset off it 😂

Hello ime on the lookout for a set of mint condition xtr v brakes, rear mech and a 28.6 top pull front mech if anyone has anything

Yeah ime really happy with how it’s come out and bluewhippet done a excellent job of painting it and same goes for retro decals for the custom colours on it, the build has slowed down as it’s hard to find parts in good condition that aren’t overpriced

Thanks ☺️ yeah there similar to the cinder cone ones with the yellow, Was looking for something flat, tempted by the ti Thomson bars but not too sure on the price 😂

Got the explosif back from bluewippet resprays and thay have done an amazing job painting it, also built up the forks with the new lowers and fitted a few other parts, need to decide on what bars to get next

Ok cool, what condition are they in?

Will you split? After just the shifter/levers and v brake setup

Do you know where it is now?

Ime on the lookout for a old Mountain biking uk magazine that I was in, not 100% on the exact issue but think it was around 2002/2003 give or take a year, it was a feature where Will Longdon was teaching xc riders how to ride dh at wharrncliff woods, I was in the article riding my orange schwinn...

Finally got my self another explosif, had one and sold it back in 2010 (the blue one) and regretted selling it ever since, the new one is a little “used” but will be getting it re-sprayed in the same blue as my old one but keep the 1999 style decal design with a slight change in the colour...

It’s a shame how schwinn ended up after them and gt went under, the bikes they made where definitely ahead of there time and rode so well, there is loads of useful information on that site , I have only ever seen one other pro model and 2 goldies in this country,

Thanks ☺️, If I remember right they where 2.95lbs for the frame and at the time it was the lightest hardtail frame in production , I had it built up with a set of rc31forks and extralite bars/stem/seatpost and a few other lightweight parts and it weighed in at 17lbs but was too light and...

Sorry posted it in the wrong section, thought I was in the 1998 onwards bit

Finally got my 2000 homegrown pro built back up after a fresh paint job,owned it from new, it’s definitely had a hard life from being used for countless xc races and 12-24hr races to a winter training bike, It’s been surprisingly hard to find all the bits to build it back up due to over priced...
