97/98 GT Vertigo project

[ED209]

I've been looking for a winter project... nothing too expensive  and spotted a GT on Ebay listed as a 'GS BMX'  and it looked interesting



...anyway £45 and no other bids so it went to me 

Did some research into other Vertigos of this age and found this beauty...



So I thought 'work will need to be done' 

It turned up yesterday and wasn't too bad at all ... brake cables were fooked and the tyres, seat, brake levers and pedals had to go. So anyway I was supposed to be going this slideshow DVD for a 40th birthday and that went out the window completely as I got cleaning and polishing.

Its not finished but its on the right path... might not even paint it as its a good survivor for 10/12 years... want to go black silver pink so need some pink cables and some pink GT decals from the man Del... I'm well pleased with it as a daily rider to save the wear on my DP

Not sure about the pink vibe though mate, something you're not tellin us

PS: Del might have the GT decal sizes as he did a set for my Vertigo and for 20to26.

GS Bmx  what's wrong with those people ? nice bike  are you repainting it? The one with the decals seems to have a hint of aubergine, slick that.

Ok - you got me - I'm a raving homosexual. Did me putting my hand on your seat and tickling your cute bum everytime you sat down give it away? 

 

( Del said the same about Decals )

Its pretty original except for tyres/cables/grips
