My second Build GT Pro Nora Cup.
« on: June 16, 2012, 08:38 AM »
My second build.

Just got this in the last couple of weeks, so been busy collecting some parts to get the build moving along steadily, I have always liked these and its going to be fun building it up and getting it out in the summer with my kids on the 81 robinson.. :smitten:


 I will upload some pics for starters......(photobucket giving some problems) >:(

Another big thanks to Joff (Norty40) and Tony (Torker dude 180) for the bits and bobs... :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

Darren, you never told me you had an MRD Badlander to build when we met the other day in a rain-soaked Manchester car-park :shocked: :laugh:

(sorry, we all have an opinion on THE best o/s bike to ride :2funny: )

Nice GT - been meaning to build one myself and never managed it in all the years I've been into this crazy hobby - but I love it mate, spot on :daumenhoch:

Ive got used to the GT now and to be honest it rides great, I ve gone off the gloss black depite it looking great and want to change the look of the bike, Can anyone show me pics of a black Chrome GT Pro NC ?

I have the bike completely stripped down now and have made a start removing the black Powder coating, its chrome under the powder albeit I would guess survivor condition at best tbc ?

Ive seen quite a few nice one's in metallic blue and chrome albeit never a black chrome one...I have thoughts of a wicked real off the wall scheme,Really nostalgic colour scheme albeit Norty40 might hot me with a Comp 111 round the head ....if I went ahead with it... :-\

Idea's and pics if you can Radsters.... :daumenhoch:

It's never to late  BITD or IT'D as we are now get one buddy I love this GT frame set it's a really nice bike to plod or thrash round on.

The build quality and welds are of a very high quality workmanship and mine is  under a re-vamp at the moment so I've had time to look at it instead of just assembling a bundle of  parts.

Looked good in black, but interested to see what's coming next.

The nicest frame to ride from that time for me I can see why you've built 2 already.

Here's some quick pics of My I-Phone Guys quality's not great albeit you get to see the revised "build 2 and a 1/2" until photobucket behaves itself ....  :smitten:

I have done this rebuild for two reasons to be honest, firstly I liked the black albeit never really warmed to it 100% and I use the bike for pottering around on and tracks every now and again and felt concerned about marking it albeit the powder was a top job whoever did it..
Secondly I never really felt like I had restored the GT more a case of assembled it from a mint frame set, that for me is troublesome.
 I have always built and maintained my own Trackday and show cars aswell as my Motocross bikes and learned a lot from it, so to have a toy I did not restore was like I never really owned it, I had not really made it my own.

Just need a few bits to finish it, 3 piece Redline or Sugino GT, Blue GT padset and the velcrow cable straps.....I love it now.... :daumenhoch:
