Title: my lads Retro GT performer
Post by: pickle on July 16, 2007, 11:22 AM

Thanks to Mr Spacefruit for selling me the frame, forks, bars, stem, brakes (pretty much everything other than the wheels and seat post)  :daumenhoch:   I gave it a good clean and some new decals, added the cranks and GT chainwheel and now just waiting for my new Tuffs to arrive from the states.  it's my lads suprise birthday pressie so i hope he's going to like it!  :daumenhoch:

yeah i do mate.....but at the moment it's on his current bike (it's the one off my DK cleveland so it's brand new) but i can't get it yet else he'll not have a bike to ride to school.

i've said to him that i need to borrow it back for while as mine is squeeking and i have to send the saddle back..... :angel:
