GT Xizang 1989 - fillet-brazed steel!

I have a very good Suntour BEAST with me. Fork will not be painted until december, I am afraid. However, the painter is very good and a specialist for splatter paint jobs.

In the meantime I must find the Diacompe 984 Cantis, a nice set of Farmer John (Cousin) tires and some Suntour XC 9000 pedals.

In the meantime I will work on my 1990 Xizang. Another thread will be coming soon...

Did this project ever get finished? Would love to see the finished bike.
 
Great bump ..... hoping to see some progress on this 😍

Was it painting the fork to match the frame that halted progress?

A few weeks ago, a third steel Xizang popped up in this forum and was offered on ebay.com. As I was on holiday/parental leave and do not search ebay.com I missed it. Two weeks ago I came across the thread here and PMed the owner. He is a very nice person and now the frame is mine. :D It should be with me shortly.

If anyone sees this one or a similar size Ti/chromo one come up for sale let me know! Either of those would fulfill the role of my dream GT.
