I don't think it's too much red.... just how you balance the red, silver and black. Your decal color makes it tough to balance too because it adds a fourth color.

Is that a polished 95x chainset?

Agree with the decal colour. Was thinking of some Onza Ules grips in yellow.

Polished XTR, not sure of the year. Have since swapped it out for a polished GT CNC crank. In my opinion blue/grey ano on the M950-52 XTR parts was the worst, butt ugliest color Shimano ever put on a component...doesn't go with anything.

Lovely, lovely bike.
I would like to get hold of a GT, but have always been a bit wary of size. I'm 5'9" so should I go for a 16" or 18", the 18's always look as if they would be a bit tall for me. How tall are you as you have a 16"?

I'm the same height. The 16" measurement is centre-to-centre so about 18" centre-to-top. The top tube's are usually around 21.5" on the 16" GT's.

you'd ride a 16 if you value your family jewels.... should you ever need to dismount on an uphill you will enjoy the 16 much more

So, short toptube lengths by todays standards (I suppose it is a retro/vintage bike) though 21.5" does seem very short. (is that actual or virtual t/t length?) Back to the days of 130mm stems! Wish I still had my old Zoom and Ringle stuff.

Actual, measured centre-headtube to centre seatpost/top-tube junction. Short top-tube by todays standards but great for those of us with short upper bodies!
