Here we go - self derailling  ;D

Here's the frame - 1988 GT made Mad Dog :) Deffo a shame about the drops on this though, still undecided if I should get em resto'd or leave the frame as is with 14mm's. Not too sure I'll be able to ride the bugger properly anyhow as it's a frikkin 18.5" top tube. This is definitely the earliest bike I want in me collection (ignoring the Burner pile in me cellar, don't judge me - they've been there for years!)

Such a shame about those dropouts  :'(

Looks spot on apart from that

Could Del help you out with those MD decals, just looks like the S&M script is wrong on the repros?

Yeah - is a shame about the drops, but I reckon if I get it powdered I might as well get them resto'd - or stay with the chrome and leave as-is - as Danny says prob will go with the drops as-is  :daumenhoch:

I reckon I'll use the original decals (or scan and repop them meself in Illustrator and ask Del if he'll print them for me). Undecided what to do with the slightly larger repops - they're bang on apart from the size. Was going to slap them on a new school (as they'll fit NS down tubes perfect at that size), but might just give the buggers away on here for someone with a NS S&M :)

Ta Kev  :daumenhoch: Different one fella (bit of a suprise getting it really), the other one has gone to a UK home though ;)

Speccing this bugger out's gonna cost a forking fortune - bit undecided which way to go with it, as I don't reckon I'll be able to ride it (being 6'3") with any gusto, and being a solid 90's person the price of 80's parts scares me a bit (how much for cranks!)  ;D

Keeping those for the time being, the sprocket bolts seized and rounded off so the right arm has a trifan stuck to it  ;D

It's a different sprocket in those pics

Might have a pair to sell, i'll let you know  :daumenhoch:

Nice fella  :daumenhoch:

Gen 3's Danny

The other side of the left arm doesn't look like it's been re welded so they might have cracked rather than snapped completely



Shame whoever repaired em decided to weld the left arm to the spindle while they were at it  :crazy2:
