Post by: subwax on January 25, 2006, 02:38 PM: My mistake - the brake lever is actually a tech 3, although a tech 4 would have been a good choice too, seeing as though it is dated 1984.

Title: Re: GHP completed
Post by: subwax on January 25, 2006, 07:34 PM: Cheers Bill. The frame came to me in October some time. Already had the bars, needed the post (cheers Moose) and a few odds and ends. finally got my arse in gear and build it over the weekend.

Looking for another long frame, if anyone's interested in selling theirs.

And you are looking for another frame, how many of these things do you have ?

Post by: subwax on January 25, 2006, 08:30 PM: Never enough - there's a candy red and an orange frame to build yet. But the best is currently at the chromer in Australia - it was a bashed up old pro I frame and forks that had an additional gusset welded onto it and sundry damage to the frame, all of which had to be removed. The headtube had to be repaired and rewelded too. Dropouts reconditioned, etc etc etc. It should arrive back soon - pics when it lands.

Post by: billstup on January 25, 2006, 08:50 PM: Did you send it all the way out there Neil, or was it already there ? And if you did sent it out there, why ?

Post by: Frosty on January 25, 2006, 09:23 PM: Neil,

A cracking build again, it seems all the parts you've been collecting are coming together for a lot of quality builds, can't wait to see the rest of them.

Post by: Bobby GHP on January 25, 2006, 10:44 PM: Neil you have raised the bar again. That SST post is the F&*&^%G bomb. I take you knew I wanted one BAD. Your attention to detail always gets my respect.
Title: Re: GHP completed
Post by: se on January 26, 2006, 02:21 PM: Beautiful, that colour combo is a rival for anything that was around at that time. Did GHP do an expert sized frame? I've seen the minis around but never something in between.
Title: Re: GHP completed
Post by: subwax on January 26, 2006, 06:25 PM: Tnhey did do a standard sized frame in addition to the Long and the mini. In 85 the standard was replaced with the Pro I, and the long became the Pro II.
