Old School Hero
Up for sale is my 1991 GT Karakoram.
With the exception of the ti handlebars, Onza ti bar ends and Syncros seat post, all the components on this frame were replaced with new or new old stock items.
I built this up to ride and not to hang on the wall, hence the upgraded components over a standard Inferno.
I’m selling the Karakoram to raise some money towards an e-bike for my elder brother, his need for an e-bike is greater than my need to keep this.
I won’t split the bike for parts so please don’t ask for dibs on them. I’m unable to post the bike so it is collection only, I live in West Essex, not far from the M25.
Build thread is here:- https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1991-gt-karakoram-project-xt-dx-onza-ritchey-rebuild.314303/
I am looking to achieve £600 or very near offers.
Thanks for looking.
