What price to pay for a good chromoly GT frame like Avalanche, Bravado or Karakoram?

Need to find some nice bar end plugs next as these grips are open ended....

Well, I have another new part for my Bravado, with thanks to henrysthreeironbands for letting me buy the GT Flip Flop stem of him to complete this build. I didn't waste time to fit this as soon as it got delivered this morning. Very Happy indeed!
I am going to wait until the snow has completely disappeared before taking my Bravado out for a ride again as I don't want it getting wrecked.
It is a very sweet looking bike, if I may say so myself. And it rides as sweet as it looks.

I hope you have enjoyed this thread as much as I have enjoyed creating it and the process of this bike build and I would like to thank you all for your input and participation.!

looks great. my other bravado will have to do without that stem. anyone got a spare? 120mm pref, any color and condition.

I will still be on the look out and will let you know when I find one!

That looks great!!

I know I was chuffed when I finally got (and repainted) the right stem for my Avalanche. It really bring the bike together nicely

Now that the temperatures have risen by a reasonable amount to clear the snow up north I have been out on my Bravado today and thoroughly enjoyed the ride, the stem has given me a little more height up front compared to the stem I had on it before and made it a bit easier on my back.
I absolutely love this bike and it was well worth the wait for certain parts and the money spent (more than intended but I don't care)!
