It’s shiny. It’s not perfect but it’s perfectly acceptable. Who hasn’t got a few scars in their late 20’s anyway. I went up a touch with the big GT decal to hide two of four rashes that I couldn’t get out. Hang it up now and see if the forks are dead or not.

Very nice :cool:

Quick update 👀

Last thing I needed was another bike but I couldn’t resist. I’ll sort it out in a couple of weeks

It’s nice to look back. You forget how bad some stuff was.

Has got top cap. Have you got same thing shorter?

@d8mok From the table top to centre of hole is 40mm exactly. The gap from stem to table is about 13mm. Do t know if you can work it out from that 👍🏻

Well I’ve de-stickered it. Cleaned and gone in with the Scothbrite and WD40. Only way back now is some wet n dry and to polish it it up. It’s in quite good shape really. Small ding and a mark or two on the top tube which is perfect because there would be no way of seeing them while riding...

I’ll measure up in a bit for you. Wait.. aren’t you the guy who wouldn’t sell me the 16 Zaskar? 🤣😉

The parts separated from the frame easily. Stem a bit stuck but not too much effort. I’ll see what parts are good to clean up and reuse, mechanically everything works though. I’ll probably have an hour cleaning the frame today at some point and a polish to see how far I’m away from an actual shine.

But that Ti frame knows who’s boss now…

It becomes personal. I often chat to the frames telling them that I will win in the end so you might as well play ball now 🤪

Great job, I love a neglected bike. I saw the seatpost without saddle in the first photo and thought that’s defo stuck! That would have been enough for me to move on.. Sounds like it quite a challenge getting the other bits off too as an added bonus 🤣

A classic… Jesus Christ! 🤣

Thanks for the offer on the decals. I’d already got an order in process with Gil for some others for a different bike so I asked him to make up a set for this and chuck them in the same parcel. Appreciate the offer though 👍🏻

A closer look at the wheels. I don’t think I’d have ridden it with these hubs anyway even if unbroken.

Yes some nice bits on it. Stem will be too long for me at 140mm but that can be swapped. Change to flat bar most likely too. Tyres are perished and I’ll change the v brakes. Quite like the blue though so probably stay with that kind of theme.

I picked this up at the weekend. It’s an 18” and that’s the size I’d normally ride give or take an inch but I reckon I can make it fit. If I was going to Halfords to buy it I’d have probably chosen a 16” but beggars can’t be choosers. I’ll not be doing it to 96 catalog spec but parts of that...

Can't believe that is still for sale

Yes! I remember my coaster brake skyways. And all the rear tyres 😁
