I wish I hadn't sold my '93 Zaskar (sold in '94 to spend on stuff for my flat when I moved to Sheffield).However, it was a great bike, I had spent near enough 2k before upgrading the wheels. The wheels were borrowed from my second '92 Timberline just so I could get the Zaskar on the road! Note...

Yesterday after a bit of shopping fairly local I walked to the nearest bus stop to catch a bus home. As I was waiting for a bus a cyclist rode past on a nice bright green GT Aggressor, the first one I have seen out in the wild, so to speak. I have only ever seen that model in the mid 90's GT...

My current Pantera AL is kitted out with Deore LX FD/RD, 500LX cranks, Exage hubs and Exage rear U brake, Ritchey Vantage Sport rims. Originally it should have come with Deore LX shifters, but when I bought it it came with Deore DX shifters/levers (sadly the 7 speed shifter turned out to be very...

I like the M095 shifters as I had them on my custom build '93 Zaskar back in the day, and in my opinion they're the best looking rapid-fire shifter brake combo, ever made! If I am not mistaken they came as stock on the '92 Bravado according to the catalogue. So it would make sense to fit them...

It was actually a mix of Deore LX and 500LX, although some variations can occur depending on the market. The bright red of the Pantera looks even brighter in daylight, whilst not as nice as PhillB's paint job on his bike, it still appealed to me enough to me that I had to have this bike again...

Have a look here... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324429012480?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=62IRF51ZRny&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=d2zLQnRbQvW&var=513988212156&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Select number 10, that should do the job....

yes, I shared a listing for the 1991 red Karakoram on here too.

And from the same seller another GT frame and forks, if I wasn't already building my '92 Bravado, I would have considered buying this one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315786560163?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=bktsunb4tna&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=d2zLQnRbQvW&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

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.
