Hanging on for dear lifeWhat's the pedal doing in the front wheel
It's interesting as there is quite a lot of variation, depending on the tubing.Thanks for chiming in @PhillB ! I knew you got one from eBay, but couldn't recall the cost. I do remember it needed a lot of Phill magic to get it back in a presentable state though!
These GT's are certainly not light, but rock solid. AND gorgeous paint jobs for mass production frames.
It's a Japan build Tange Concept frame & forks and has:
Original forks
Original Stem
Original U-brake
Original cross-over cable guide for U-brake
Original seat collar
Great basis for a nice build!
I guess it depends how much you want one...But knowing how many hours I spent sorting the frame out I would say €200 for one in good condition would be worth it.
Had a quick look in the archive at the GT catalogues and it's amazing they only state the seat tube size and nothing else! I was pretty sure they had that somewhere? I guess you could do what I did when I was younger and measure with a rule a known length and use this to calculate the rest of the dimensions of the bike. I did this to work out what a 16" GT looked like as they only really ever showed 18" and above sizes in their catalogues.Problem with this frame is several.
I'm not rebuilding it but it will be butchered into a utility bike, also not sure if the 20" frame has a long enough top tube for me.
The paint is too nice, as I will be welding some things on the frame.
All the other bits are useless to me as I won't use them and will never use them.
Still thinking the 22" frame would be a better fit, longer top tube but it's hard to make a decision on that as I have no numbers on any of the frames other then C-T.
Seller did come back to me about postage, it's cheap and he will post if asked.
I need to get back to him today and not sure what to do still. hmm.
