1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour (Friday fun purchase!)

<< < (14/23) > >>

tfi_friday:
Time to have a go at lacing up and truing the wheels.

Took a couple of efforts to get the pattern right but got it sorted:



Then it was time to MacGyver a truing stand, from a Trickstar and three lollipop sticks.


And mounted to some GT rubber

tfi_friday:
Next up, the Nippon that was originally anodized black got the SBD treatment. (Still need to have the QR mounted again)

SBD powder:


Sharpie Oil Paint pen, neatly done... *cough*


Thankfully a bit of elbow grease and some polish tided it up:

tfi_friday:
Now the fun starts...



BB cups


Headset cups and Gyro


Freestyle GT Epoch


1987 GT Seat clamp that originally came with the bike

tfi_friday:
Now some SR bits and bobs...

SR stamped GT Mallet


SR stamped GT Power Series Cranks and SR SP-474 Pedals


And I just noticed a nice detail on the Power Series Locknut... GT stamped :D

tfi_friday:
Ran into a bit of a problem though with the rear frame Standers.  "help"
Test fitted them, and they won't sit fluch to the drop out when mounted... bit of tweaking to do, so I dont mess up the powder coat on the frame.


That's all I managed today, but couldnt resist to see how the wheel looked on.
