This was one of the original builds of mine. I found it in Switzerland as a NOS GT Pro 4. I built it in the only way I could, iconic GT blue/yellow combo. I had stripped it this week to give it a good fettle and maybe a new lease of powder. I've always wanted to do my bike from the past.

Then a friend popped round (Darklandscaper) armed with a pocket full of cash and managed to get me to give up the f&f

Will I regret it? maybe..... maybe not.....

I built it as one of my first and never ever rode it.

Enjoy it Rob, I'm sure you'll do it proud.

Lovely bike that! I can relate to the mixed feelings on letting it go, as I'm currently going through the same with some of my stuff. Hopefully seeing it go to a good home helps, likewise ploughing the sale proceeds into the next project!
