aw wow, thats the eldridge i had back when i use to race. i was 15 at the time.

The bike was 15.5" frame i got this after my lavadome was stolen and i remeber i feeling so quick and light it was excellent. i spent another few hundred on other bits only for it to be stolen about a year later. Loved that bike!

Just found an old edition of MBUK with me in racing (if you can call it that) my original, massive Karakoram - the bike that's responsible for this build. The things we used to do when we were young...

Update

Current form:

retired the disc drive
M900, M261CD & K Megabite ZMax on the back
Megabite ZMax WCS on the front
Regal Giradi saddle
GT seat q/r

If I got a matching front rim I'd happily call this one finished

I have that mag! Looks like fun! Nice bike too - 1991 GTs are my favourites

there is something about GT bikes that is very striking. Or simply, they realy look awesome!

Like it more without disc drive I've had '92 Karakoram, GT changed over tubing to True Temper GTX but it didn't changed weight really. I love the way how this bike handle and frames are build to last.
