Restored Little 83 GT Expert.
« on: June 11, 2010, 04:18 PM »
As some of you know I love GT race bikes and wanted an Expert to go with my 3 GT Pro's. So when this came up a few weeks ago I jumped at the chance. The chrome was pretty much shot but it was an honest frameset with un-drilled forks so I thought definitely one for the collection. I originally thought that I would have it powdered and then put it up on a display shelf, but I just couldn't stop myself from building it up. Big thanks to Dan for the powder, Del for the decals and Steve for the pads. Hope you like it  :)

Parts List
83 GT Expert Frame and Forks (un-drilled)
GT Expert Bars
GT Seat Post
Beartrap II Headset
SR MS-422 Stem
AME Grips
Dia Compe MX900 Brake with Tech III Lever
KKT Lightning Pedals
Kashimax MX Seat
Dia Compe MX Seat Clamp
Izumi Chain
Redline Bubble Font Chainwheel
Redline 401 Flight Cranks (180) Single Pinch Full Wrap
UKAI Speedline Wheels
Tioga Comp III's
Uni Turbo Number Plate
Repro Pad Set

That is really nice.  :4_17_5:



I was going to build up an expert as a replica of my bike from BITD and bought one of someone cos they said it was an expert, only when it arrived it was a pro  ???  So my replica is not really a replica  :crazy2:  At least I can ride it though.

Sweet little GT build Nathan  :daumenhoch:  love the gold Ukai's against the black   :coolsmiley:

The plate is a later UNI Turbo, the earlier ones that Radman sells would be better suited/period correct  ;)
