I have finally found my holy grail, may not mean too much to some who already posess, but I have been hunting for a while, so is not a minute too soon. Anyway, have sourced "my" GT frame and forks that I rode in the 80's, just can't decide wether to "restore" or make an exact repo of the bike I had BITD, which was a bit of a Hybrid.
Wadda yo reckon;

Thoughts, Ad

Would you go for the "exact" repo, ie; skyway pads, etc? I think so. Would it be so cool to say "check out this pic of me 20 odd years ago", well, here's the bike!

I'm made up for you buddy

Glad you got it in the end,which ever way you decide to go i'm sure you'll do a top job!

and then lets see them pics

Ad ,

See if you can replicate it completely , that would be uber cool

What are the frame & fork decals ? , I had a GT Pro in 83 (Santa Ana / Nora Cup) & they were the foil ones but yours look different ? . Was it a Mach One ?.

Go for it & re-create

Stop being a tit, and build your bike... as it was

stidds · « **Reply #16 on:** April 29, 2006, 12:59 AM »

Adam, nothing less than a complete restore of that picture is required, including YOU. We want to see that haircut re-created and more importantly, drainpipe jeans. And we want the pictures to prove it.

just joined your fine uk site. i think your grail was bought from me. to bad i didnt know. or my buy it now would have been a lot higher. just kidding! it is in the mail you should have it next week. take. care jay

aditup2004 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 29, 2006, 07:51 AM »

Cheers Jay, yes, your frame is my "grail", thanksyou.
The stickers, Matt, are some generic rubbish I put on in juvenile wisdom. The bike was a Santa Ana "expert", not a mach 1.
Cheers, Ad

The things we do as kids !

A re-creation of the original pose would be well funny
