1992 GT Karakoram new pics - Pickle beware!

[legrandefromage]

Sold a commuter bike to an an old aquaintance of mine, he was a bit short of cash so gave me this surpise in part ex.



I loved this paint scheme from when I was yoof and did wonder whether to get one sometime. Shows how lousy my old camera is though... :evil:

The forks are off my previous GT tip finds, not sure whether to use these and the flip/flop stem yet.

might 'ugrade' to ahead forks and something...

Not sure if its a keeper, might work out too small. Paint is good except for the usual cable rub. Chain slap is non existant as a shark fin had been fitted upteen years ago. All the 'groove tube' bits are present and the original front mech is there.

was more than a bit surprised to find it had a replaceable mech hanger... :shock:

I think: Black tyres, seatpost, stem, forks, with as clean a frame as possible

Who thinks what?

Nice frame. I always liked that color scheme.

Although I think the derailleur hanger is a repair.

Nope – the Karakoram upwards had a replaceable hanger, like my '92 avalanche.

Really nice frames to be honest – ride very well indeed.

My Avalanche seems to end up getting more action than any other bike in the fleet.

Enjoy

yep. my 92 karakoram had a replaceable hanger as well, the higher end gt's seem to have them, lovely bike that, shame my one was a bit too small

 

[Pickle]

That is one GT I want to own.....especially in that colour scheme

Oh look, its an 18", far too small for you

 

[drystonepaul]

My 92 Bravado had a replaceable hanger too.
