Re:

Well, this is sorta 'it' - not 100% imo, but the closest i'll get it for the time being and happy enough with it to show it off.
Still a couple of niggles I'd like sorted like a new set of chainrings, NOS front mech, seat recovered, new seat post but I'll do those in time
Thanks for looking and I'll update in future if I manage to get any of those bits sorted, cheers

Re:

Looks amazing Jax much shinier than mine, just wondering if you are/were having tire clearance issues with the rear 2.1 and the u brake like I did? Again super job on the polish hell everything
Cheerio

Re:

Cheers dude , I'm really happy with it, I wanted to start another project straight after but my Kona is no good (parts in the for sale thread ), so I'm going to have a think and probably start a new project in the new year

Tyre issues? - erm, no issues at all with clearance but I think yours was a year older (?) so maybe GT made some small changes?

I'm not a great fan of GT's (not sure why) but that is a beauty and if I was going to have one, it would look just like that

All your hard work has paid off and it looks amazing – great job.

Cheers dude, appreciated
I guess it's a little standard for some but that's what I was going for - something very similar to my original.
Maybe the next one will be tricked out

Also just want to say thanks to all on Retrobike who have given advice and sold me the parts I needed.
Goes without saying that this project would've been more difficult and taken longer without the help I recieved, so LONG LIVE THE RB COMMUNITY!!

Re:

Thanks .
Actually though, I haven't polished it since last year - its well kept

There's still a couple of other niggly bits left to do as well - the bar ends and brake booster to get anodised (painted atm) and the wheel bearings and cone nuts.
