My own GT 1985 Experience, and restore.
« on: October 31, 2008, 01:05 PM »
I would like to try to explain the story of this bike:

Was bought from my father on 1986, but I rode more for freestyle than race, so I change some parts.

take a look at the shoes....;)

After some years I would like to have more brake power, so I decide to weld all the stuff necessary to fit an u-brake rear..
pivot, cable stop,  cable guide, and an additional stell artigianal dropout ( made by myself )
Lot of years not use it..
A few months ago I would love to restore that bike, so was necessary to remove everything...

THE FRAME


THE DROP OUT...ADDED


BRAKE PIVOT REMOVE


DOWN TUBE


SEAT BEFORE


NEW LIFE...


BRAKE

BRAKE CABLE

CHAINWHEEL

HUB

A'ME GRIP

GT EPOCH

HUB

PADS

REAR

RIMS

TYRE


BIKE SPEC:
GT PRO SERIES 1985 SERIAL N° G5K04960
TOP TUBE 18,5"
GT HANDLEBAR  powdered
GT MALLET STEM original
GT EPOCH HEADSET polish
TIOGA FORK nos
AME' GRIP nos
BRAKE DIA COMPE KIT nos
SEAT TUBE GT powdered
SEAT GT restored
CRANK polish
CHAINRING ASCO 43t polish
CHAINWHEEL GT powdered
SHIMANO PEDAL nos
RIMS ARAYA CHROME 36 20x3-1/8 POLISH
HUBS SUZUE SEALED polish
TYRES TIOGA COMP 3 original
PAD SET GT original


Maybe isn't all original, but belive me...from here ( Italy ) is the best I been able to make, we don't have
a lot of resources.
Hope you like it, and sorry if my English isn't very good.
