i built the gt just over three years ago now and although it was a really nice build i always had it in mind to one day change the colour scheme to make it look a little more 'gt' as for me red just isnt gt at all.

with a patterson pr200 build on the go and needing some red parts for it i decided that the time was right to change the gt about.some parts are on the patterson(hopefully will be finished in about 2 weeks) and some have gone on the robbo,which is now having a make over too

anyway heres the result hope you likey,its defo more 'gt' now for me anyways,hope it doesnt look worse

Yeah, I agree with Joff Mark, the new look suits the bike more.

Noice......

Just trying to decide if a GT Pro would look good with DC1020's and here's the answer.... And yes it does!

Sweet build Mark - like it loads.

Mark,

Much better colour scheme that

I did think red/chrome initially for mine albeit I do agree just not feeling the red on one..

Looking forward to the next build

Love your builds Mark - always a break from the norm

Loved it in its previous guise, but the new look makes it look GT

Cool as fook.

I keep coming back to this as it's exactly how I was planning to build mine. I need a change of plan now as mine will never look as smart as yours ;-(

Lush mate. Totally lush.

Lovely bike, much better for the changes IMO. Does it have a flip flop hub?
