Won this a few weeks back and i cant wait to get it. Apparently its a complete original spec bike and they dont come up like this that often-APPARENTLY. Can anyone tell me otherwise or if there are parts on there that are not original as i am not a GT bod. Dont know weither to keep as is or do it up. What ya reckon?

I understand that the Jap made ones (which is what my one is unfortunately is) came as a complete GT spec bike. Is that what yours was Jeff?

I wasn't trying to rub it in, I just have a hard time remembering if those were made in Japan or Tiawan (I think it's Tiawan), so I just use 'overseas'

Any way, here's a pic I was sent a while ago by someone to ask my opinion. The black seat obviously doesn't belong on that bike, but the only other difference from yours seems to be the seatpost clamp.

C'Mon Nick get some photos up can't wait to see this performer

munners · « **Reply #20 on:** October 31, 2007, 08:30 AM »

You are gonna have to wait lads i am afraid! I opended it up last night and i need to build it and give it a clean up before i put photos up. It is all there, dont get me wrong but i am a perfectionist and i will only put pics up if i am happy with them. And.....i aint got a minute spare at the moment. The only spare time i get is at work when i am on here!

It needs a powder really but i my just take it apart, put some panel wipe over the frame/forks and t-cut and polish it to see how it turns out. The tuffs are in A1 condition but need a bleach. The front one has a serial number on it still on the rim. AND.. they have original Skyway tuff pads in white on it. The fronts are like new but the backs are worn. I havent seen them for ages! The GT decals on the bars and seat post are white rather than blue. It has some fancy name on the bottom of them like an area of the US. Right fancy! I need to fall in love with it before i judge its condition but i may keep it as a true survivor. GT tyres are spot on too!
