Right, whilst I'm waiting for my mate to sort out some powder coating for me I've started another little side project too. I picked up a 1998 GT Performer for cheap but it was in pretty poor, rusty condition. I've stripped it down and put the majority through a citric acid bath and I'm well chuffed with the results so far. Thought I'd share.......
All the decals have come off the chain ring though. I'm trying to decide what to do with it. I'm thinking have it powder coated and then I was going to attempt to make my own winged GT decal for it using my robo cutter on some sticky back plastic.
EDBANGER:
Still waiting to get my parts powder coated. Animal (Steve) from here is currently taking out the dings in my rear Pro Class wheel. Fingers crossed he can get them nice and straight again.
In the meantime I went over to my mums to help her with some gardening today and when I was in the shed (which is floor to ceiling with junk and gardening tools). I noticed a set of shiney chrome forks at the very back and bottom of the pile. After 30 minutes of wrestling around and emptying half the shed I managed to get these out......
Tange Forks
SR Spintech stem
Unknown Two Piece Bars with Tech 77 lever
Can't believe I had a spin tech stem all this time and had no idea. The way bike parts were just swapped about when I was a kid was ridiculous. I have no idea where I would have got it from. I was hoping I was going to find some old frames in there too but unfortunately not. I've recognized some of the frames I used to have from on here although I'd never know what they were.

Ive got a set of gt forks in minty chrome that would suit that a treat.
