help gt ?? got it today more piccis is this it??
duncan:
I had a look through the museum section yesterday looking for a match, your frame looks so similar to a few, but not quite the same.
Revcore, Redline, CW, Falcon Pro, all are very similar but there's usually a slight difference in the rear dropout or headtube.
Didn't see any with the same gusset behind the BB, that seems to be the distinguishing feature.
Edit>> Also, the way the toptube and seatstays join the seattube rules out some of the models listed above.
The Scorpion forks may be a clue, but the Scorpion ads in the museum don't show any with a head gusset.
Worth 60 for the pedals and wheels if they're in good condition and you want a bike to ride.
dannyboy:
he says the bearings in one of the pedals are dodgy can this be sorted?
duncan:
If they're Shimano DX pedals then they're worth sorting.
Depends on the damage, if it's the bearings themselves they're easily replaced.
If it's damage to the axle or cones you can replace them from a set of DX copies (or a pair of Shimano SX's?).
Only problem might be if the bearing cups in the pedal body itself are damaged,
Unlikely though, I'd imagine the problem is just some damaged bearings which have seized the pedal.
Edit>> The frame may just turn out to be a generic frame, but you would have some nice name brand components to build up another frame in the future.
Trying to build a whole bike for 60 would be tricky, so it's worth it in this sense, you might have to take a chance regarding condition of the parts though.
dannyboy:
they are deffo dx pedals i think ill buy it and find a old gt frame to make a nice rider :4_17_5:
cheers everyone for your help you are a good bunch of chaps :daumenhoch:
HUTCHMAN:
that gusset behind the b/b looks VERY much like the really early MCS made Hutch's.Perhaps a rare MCS or poss a Powerlite??
