Title: One for the little man....... Just seen this 17/7
Post by: Andy68 on June 26, 2012, 11:09 PM: As my other halfs grandson keeps wanting to ride my GT junior (not a feckin chance!!) I've been having a trial run tonite with any parts I could find so he can soon finally have his first old school ride at the wee age of 7. No idea wot the frame is, it was amongst the Thruster haul a few months ago. Just noticed it has a longer than normal headtube if that narrows it down? Gonna be a right miss match of colours but hey, he'll love it and I wont worry about him dropping it! Does anyone has a rough old 7/8th mini seatpost clamp spare? Also need those cylindrical spacer thingymajibobs for the brake fixing bolt to flat bridge, does anyone out there sell 'em??? :-*

I should add that I just made this up, expected that someone who really knows would have replied by now
(did remind me of a wheels/MRD frame though)

Post by: Andy68 on June 27, 2012, 06:44 PM: Can honestly say I've not even looked at headset, it came with the Champion forks and serial no. 00004. Spent a bit of time having to sand down the seatpost to make it fit! :tickedoff:

Whatever it is, its gonna be stickered up 'Curtis' to give it a bit of colour!
