One thing: children dream...
What can I say!?
Few years ago, I’ve purchased a GT STS 1000 DS 18” frame kit from a friend with the aim to rebuild it with end of 90’s and/or beginning of 2K's components.
One target: to realize my children dream!
Years have passed and it gathers dust…
But one year ago, I have had a “brain wave” when seeing the following bike on Google!
RetroBike link : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=282974
So, it was the time to me to run engine and engaged the 1rst gear of the project.
I have really fully engaged the clutch 2 months ago by searching spare parts and components mainly on eBay.
