look what I just found. shame on me :mrgreen:

It's a NOS GT Xizang from 1997. What to do with it? I have some plans already though...

cheers,

I think you should give it to me!

Awww....such a nice frame. Why can't today's bikes look so good?

Round tubing.
Nice welds.
Modest graphics that you can remove/replace.
Bare metal finish.

That's why I got rid of my GIANT with the word GIANT 32 times on the bike. I got tired of giving free advertising.

Great find. I can't wait to see what you do with this!

First I will finish my 16" Xizang, it should be done in about 2 weeks, then I will add some more pictures in that build thread.

This NOS frame will only be assembled if I have all the parts needed. Probably first as a "gag" on the wall and a sign with: "ready in 1-2 hours, if it really has to be", otherwise after almost 16 years of NOS status it would be a shame to use this frame

What find! I know it's been in its NOS state for a long time but I believe every Xizang longs to be ridden... And ridden fast

Let's add a NOS Zaskar LE too

Where on earth did you find that?

Dude, don't get me started with a NOS GT frame war. Most of mine are older than yours too.

 

[Yidaki]

Nobody wanted to start a war
I know most of your GTs though! They are gorgeous.

So where in Vienna can one find such beauties? I really can't say which of them I envy you for more

Cheers
