83 GT Nora Cup Resto - pics before and after! -
« on: July 16, 2006, 01:40 PM »
Rebuilt this one for a mate of mine - he is gonna come with us on august bank holiday for the annual southsea trip, so it's built as a rider (hence the comfy seat, and road tyres)

this is what it was like when i got it:



this is what it looks like now!







i reused the original:

frame + fork +  bars
chainring / spider
brakes (1000a's)
stem
seatclamp
nora cup sticker - the one on the frame was scrap. i got this one from the fork steerer tube - soaked it off in hot water then stuck it to the frame with double sided tape

check out all the inbetween pics at http://www.30cms.co.uk/temp/richgt/

it's a really nice bike. so light!

thanks guys

i spent about 110 quid on parts. second hand wheels for 20 quid - that i relaced / cleaned up.
New grips, seat, seatpost, tyres, stickers, cables, chain, freewheel, wheelnuts.

so it was done on a budget
