GT Xizang

[Nader]

There was recently a post from France with a stunning GT Xizang frame inside!

This will be my next project for upcoming months. First of all I need a syncros powerlite forks...

Interesting project and the only GT I think is worth owning..... But then WTF do I know


Looking forward to seeing this taking shape and the pictures you`ll no doubt treat us to

I started my mtb days on a Raleigh montage, and looked after it like it were worth a million pounds........one sunny summers afternoon in 1991 a mate lent me one of these to ride to the hairdressers in the next village for a short back and sides. Needless to say I was blown away by it, and once relieved of my hair I took the long route home via the local woods and quarry. Great memories of a brilliant bike.......I look forward to seeing what you do with it......

Judging by the dropouts it looks like the same year as my 1997 xizang with earlier graphics
