The f&f is back from SBD now. Just gotta get the decals off Carl and find some 9/16 spindles for the pedals. Should be ready for the big reveal at MK.  :daumenhoch:

The easiest way to find spindles is to get hold of some beat up triple trap pedals. They normally quite cheap and work without any mods.

Is that a deffo Jon ? Been weighing em up and the bodies are very similar in size to old school MKS/KKT type bodies so was thinking of getting a beat up pair of them tbh but if triple traps fit I'll keep me eye open for a set of them. ???

The GT's were made by SR so you need to look for SR speed trap, Odyssey Tripple trap, or any other SR made cage style pedal. Speed traps are expensive so triple traps are your best bet.

Porkchop do them. Pretty sure they are reissues but they look ideal.

Id love to judge at MK, but I always think its sketchy to judge if you have bikes in the show so I steer clear. If I don't have any new bikes next year I will definitely be up for it.

Got a few changes in the pipeline for this...

Found a set of Robinson forks in chrome... bit later than the frame but more a match than the GT, correct Robinson stamped seat post, GT Superlace hubs that were in a bad way so had em stripped and polished, found another pair of nos AA Pro's so now running a fat/thin combo and a nos pitbull caliper... think it looked naked at the rear end with the Nippon. So nothing drastic just a few tweaks.  :)

Picked the hubs up today so just need to rebuild the wheels... throw it all together... take some fresh pics... sorted.  :daumenhoch:
