I just got the exact frame/color (I think it's a 16" not an 18" though, uncertain how GT measures seat tube still.) and your build is great inspo. Would you happen to know what the new weight is after all the weenie parts were tossed on? I see my handlebar is also steel (and rusty), that ritchey handlebar must've dropped a lb alone.Re: GT Tequesta 1991

Hi, thanks. I'm afraid I don't know the weight loss other than it improved the rideability significantly. Bike has long been sold now. Have updated the thread title as it is definitely a 1992 model; the 91 model had a Suntour drivetrain.I just got the exact frame/color (I think it's a 16" not an 18" though, uncertain how GT measures seat tube still.) and your build is great inspo.
