Re:

great find and nice job so far. love your elite that looks very schmick. I had a Corey O'brien like that one years ago. The finish on Santa Cruz decks was really good. as was their artwork

Re:

looking good! one of my all time favorite paint schemes! which is good, because i just scored this same bike for myself! waiting on shipment at the moment, should be here next week, and then the restoration begins.

anyone have a better catalog pic/spec than what is here in the archives? i may go full original OEM parts on it, although not sure yet. hard to resist all the fancy crap i have laying around....

Re:

I have a 1992 GT catalogue, I'd be happy to scan the spec and pictures for you. I had a hankering for one of these back in the day.

Re:

That would be awesome! Thank you soo much! I'm not sure who to get in touch with, but the existing 92 catalog scan in the archives is not the full version. And it's in german.haha

 

[lowntegra]

any luck on that catalog scan there?

millhouse - what size post is this thing using? mine came with a cheapo 27.2, that is obviously from a different bike. is it a 26.6?

1992 they switched from Tange to True Temper ..... I can't remember which off the top of my head though.

Due to alot of other bikes and priorities this bike have been neglected for a long time.
Got hold of some fixed 700c rims i wanted to try out just for fun The result was amazing
