1991 GT Karakoram

Hi,

New to here, but not to MTBs, I've just picked up my winter project. It's in great condition, but needs a strip and rebuild and a couple of new bits.

Couldn't resist it when I saw it at the bike charity shop near me. I think a friend had one the same when it was pretty new.

Seen a couple of pics of others where the front brake cable isn't routed through the stem. Anyone know it that's a good or bad thing... Or maybe country specific?

Ta!

In which world does this happen? :shock:

I know! Trust me, I was as shocked as you. It had a full length rear guard and pannier rack attached. Plus a good old fashioned bike bell, so I can only assume it was a shopping bike. :roll:

Re:

Wow that's a great find, looks really original too. The cable routing on yours is the correct way to do it. Nice one

Said it once and I'll say it again...... GT's best year for paint schemes in my opinion
