GT Xizang 1989 - fillet-brazed steel!

I live two minutes away from the Grunewald.

And there are many nice ice cream parlors, if you know what I mean.

Cool, i did consider buying this when it appeared on ebay, but the GF would have killed me i think.

Good to see it landed somewhere to be appreciated.

I did some polishing a few days ago:

Other than that, no news. Still waiting for the fork to arrive. This fork will then get a repaint.

Still looking for Farmer John tires and a pair of DiaCompe 984 brakes.

Looks fantastic after a bit of elbow grease, wish I could find one of those tioga carbon fibre seatposts for my 90 one .
