Hi,
Just thought I's begin to write about progress of my first retro bike build. Got this GT frame and a Univega frame for £30 the pair from ebay. When I went to collect the frame the seller asked if I actually wanted the GT frame as he thought it was junk and was going to put it in the bin.
Decided that the look for the bike was basically to include bits and pieces that I wanted on my bike when I was younger but couldn't afford then
Stripped the frame and had the frame painted in PPG Matt Black and have added some gloss black GT decals. Bike will be mainly Matt Black and Polished Aluminium. Fitting Girvin Vector Forks because I like the look of them and I got a set of Snowflaked wheels as a surprise Xmas pressie. XT groupset will be fitted with gripshifts.
Will be upgrading to Fox Float shocks front and back
sorry for the poor standard of photo's will update with better ones later on.
