1985 GHP Pro 1

[dancetothedrummersbeat]

I bought this last summer from Ant factory pilot, who kindly agreed to sell it. He had already built it, and had done an amazing job. Here's his mega build thread from 2016, and photo of how he had it

I loved it as it was, but wanted to tweak it to suit my taste, so I bought it about 80% complete and he kept/sold the rest of the parts.

Here are the parts I changed.

brakes - Single rear gold MX 1000 and shimano lever swapped for dia compe polished MX 1000 front & rear, with dia compe tech 4 levers, and 85 dated dia compe cables.
seat - Yellow shot gun 1 seat changed to a yellow shot gun 2.
stem - Red suntour style stem changed to silver pro neck II.
tyres - new/reissue comp 3 changed to grey label comp 3.
headset - standard Tioga style change to Tange 320 in chrome, and gold suntour headset lock changed to red Tange headset lock.
clamp - gold suntour changed to red suntour.
pedals - Hutch beartrap changed to Shimano DX.
plate - Haro colour plate changed to Haro B1 plate.

Yeah, cracking job that mate! I really like both incarnations, and it's interesting to see the different take on the same, basic set-up.
