Mrs S G's New Build
« on: March 26, 2019, 12:03 PM »
I suppose it was going to happen at some point!

I took delivery of another GT frame set and was wondering what to do with it. On the face of it, it looked like a fairly sound frame but when Dan stripped it, it suddenly got bad!

After a great deal of fettling in Dagenham's own A-Team shed it was ready for colour. I'd taken delivery of some 86 World Tour decals that I was going to use on one of my builds buy they came pink rather than magenta background. So the decision was made. Mrs S G was going to have her own GT!

With some old Daniel magic it had to be painted rather than powdered to protect the work done to the frame.

White F&F with pink components was the order of the day

Then came the wheels. I had white hubs but no rims! I found some stripped Araya 7c rims on ebay and sent them off too.
