That looks real cool 8), i have a GT24 1986 also. But probably not as nice.
The 24" cruisers just don't seem to come up that often (well not nice old school ones).
Thanks for sharing.

Lovely bike and lovely build Khaled.



I found however bitd when I rode for GT that the cruiser was absolutely bloody awful to ride, I couldn't use it so used to ride a Curtis 24 with GT stickers.
