great score, get racing

Great base for a project that. Bargain too. Is that seatpost a Robinson item? They did one with a 90degree bend on it and were part of the GT family by then.

It's crying out for some 3 piece cranks tho...

Mabye some white profiles...

thatd be cool ed.. how much bro ?

i dunno.. its knurled right at the end where it goes into the guts. i cant see any branding! wont be needing it. not my thing and the bike is going race rep. are you interested ?

it does need 3 piece but i am more opc and its going race rep so may just stay as is!

hooga1975 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 22, 2012, 12:52 PM »

I was watching that bike and nearly went for it myself. A great little project at £55!

bobbbbsy · « **Reply #10 on:** February 22, 2012, 01:44 PM »

you stick to your 99p forks

i was suprised i won it. kept upping the bid by a pound or 2 pound 3 or 4 times in the last minute and hey presto!
thanks for not bidding dude !

thanks fellas..

the dude was sad but i said 'dont look back bro, dont worry i ll look after it'. will do better than he did thats for sure !

Is the frame chrome unders that paintwork? I also remember from the listing that they had tried to weld on some canti mounts but they snapped off!

bobbbbsy · « **Reply #15 on:** February 22, 2012, 04:06 PM »

I dunno yet.. there are lots of sports where everything is rubbed or chipped to bare metal and brown !

yeah they ll be getting chopped orf !!

bobbbbsy · « **Reply #16 on:** February 22, 2012, 09:59 PM »

stem was a bitch... wheels are fooked. bent axles, hardly turning,found a tioga headset under the grime. 5 different types of grease. headset lubed by hard stuff and maybe some rainwater, bb mangled !
rear brake stay bent by cnut overtightening rear brake!
apart from that... sweet

angle grider/file/paint stripper tomoz !

bobbbbsy · « **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2012, 04:53 PM »

nicked the frame a little with the grinder , found 2 dents and the serial number- 12930929. theres a random M I to!

Gary72 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 23, 2012, 11:08 PM »

Nice score

Ed dont forget to take the freewheel off first. Or you could check out GTNUMBER1's for sale listing as he has a rear hub. He did have a pair of race hubs but I think they sold.

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #19 on:** February 23, 2012, 11:32 PM »

That's looking better mate

so what's the colour going to be ?

bobbbbsy · « **Reply #20 on:** February 23, 2012, 11:36 PM »

i saw that hub yeah and that sale thread.. i ve got free wheels . eds got one for me !

i was thinking black with chrome fork and bars to be fair.. its raw underneath. i think this was its only paint job with white primer!
im spraying it.. im skint !

bobbbbsy · « **Reply #24 on:** March 04, 2012, 11:29 AM »
