1997 GT Xizang Build Update 26/07/2011

[SEANSTEPHENS]

I know mate the finger prints and a pain in the arse, ive had to change two decals for new ones and you could see the difference in its finish

Awesome bikes i need me stem to be shorter now to match all my other bikes im thinking 125mm its 135 now way to long

the syncros stem is 140mm, but i find the short xizang frame more than makes up for it

NOS frame?

Looks so clean and neat. Would be nice with classic Shimano XTII and Rock Shox, Mavic 231 etc...

its not nos its been mostly used as a commuter over the past 14 years (to my knowledge) with a good polish and new graphics, it has turned out nice.
it's almost finished now. the groupset is the era correct XTR m950 with exception of the cranks, as they were a bit worse for wear. im going to get a Hope/mavic wheelset for it with the blue/ti hubs and change the tires as well, but otherwise its done

Wow looks ready for the trails whats your total spend

yeah it rides well. total spend is roughly £430. i put aside £100 for new wheels and i reckon the current wheels hold about 40 quid in value so total spend when done, i guess would be around £500

cheers, sean
