GT24 Cruiser - Finished at last
« on: April 29, 2006, 09:49 PM »
Not an old school ride I know, but I got me a GT24 a while back and decided to give a bit of an old school look.

New front brake (cheers Zippy)
Profile Imperial Chainring  (cheers Romblerk)
Comp III type skinwalls (imported from Rinis - only 2 weeks to deliver)
Chromed the cranks
Chromed the forks

Bike when first bought off evilgay



Cranks, Forks chainring before being fitted



Before finishing with new tyres and sorting the chain, putting on the pedals & brakes



Finished build



Close up of the forks



Close of the cranks



Lots of Old School lovelyness about this bike, took it for a hack up the road and kerb jumps so sweet  :LolLolLolLol:

Thanks Si, can't wait to get over to Hayes track on it to try it out properly  :daumenhoch:

Hope you don't want your brake back if you get your old one back  :LolLolLolLol:

No I'm a rear brake only type.

I want to get mine back for the wife as I've now got a Haro SX24 (great bike).

Where did you get your forks and cranks chromed by the way and how much did they charge. They look really good.

A friend of mine does steel fabrication and he got a mate of his to do them for me at a argain price of £35  :shocked: I think he's done a really good job too although I had to prepare them!  He's going to get me the guys number for Sawzall so as soon as I get it I'll PM you.  He is based in Uxbridge though!

They were a bargain $20 a pair, so I got two pairs  :shocked: Shipping was another $40 though  :(  Worked out at about £50 in total and no problems with customs as they are tyres for childrens bikes  :LolLolLolLol:
