Hello,
Just thought I'd introduce myself. I started mountainbiking in 1990 on a GT Tequesta (bought new). I rode this until I replaced it with a '99 Karakoram (again bought new) which I'm still using to this day, all be it with a number of modern(ish) parts.
The Tequesta spent some time in my loft (I could never bring myself to throw it away BITD) and was later re-built as a commuter/road training bike. It has slicks and erm, tri-bars, oh and about a milion (6) lights as its winter now. It does looks a bit silly, but I like it, and besides commuter bikes are allowed (suposed) to look stupid (functional), correct?
Last year I built a single speed using a '99 Timberline frame. Its very much a parts bin/ebay special but I love riding it.
I also have a modern bike, which is nice too! Its a hardtail, has silver rims and silver seat post, and yes its a GT!!!
Cheers,
James
