A nice young lady needs some help

The picture on the first page was all I had to work with, I tried blowing it up but the quality went that bad it was still hard to tell exactly what stuff was (Stem, levers, grips?????????)
Her budget was not going to stretch to the list below as this little list is nearly 2 grand by the time stuff has been blasted and painted.
Frame + Forks 84 or 85 GT
Pedals = Suntour XC-II
Tyres = Comp III's in blue
Bars = GT Performer
Levers = Tech 5
Cranks = Redline Flight
Brakes = MX1000 white
Seat = Kashimax Aero
Post GT
Seatpost Clamp MX
Stem GT
Chainring = Sugino I reckon
Spider = Hmmm could be part of crank if 400's or Sugino if 401's
Wheels = Alloy hub white tuffs
Pegs = Skyway or home made!
Chain = Zebra
Its pretty close, everything but the frame + Forks, bars and stem is NOS. Tuffs are plastic hubbed instead of alloy, brakes are FS, cranks are GT, pedals are XC copies and so on. I aint telling you what it cost her as its a prestent and she is pointing her bloke in the direction of RAD on his birthday so he is bound to read this thread (if you really need to know because its bothering you that much you can't sleep or something PM me and i'll tell you and send you a pic) It was not about making money, it looked like it might be a laugh to do it. I only charged her what it cost in bits, blasting, powder and so on and managed to come in just about on budget. When she came and got it today she gave me a fat drink. I'm happy, she is happy and i guess her bloke is gonna be chuffed as fook!
Dan and Del need a thanks for the deals on the powder and the decals. :4_17_5:

Great work Matt, give us an update of the fella's reaction when he gets that.

I got a call on Sunday from one very happy bloke, he was chuffed to bits with his birthday present and was blown away by the effort Sophie had gone to to get it done. Wanted to say thanks to me for building it and the people who found bits for it, painted it and so on. Sophie had made a scrap book thing full of the pics of it as we got it, the ebay links for the parts and the build.
He sounded like one rad birthday boy to, wanted to know if we all rode our bikes or if they sat around looking pretty. I said was up to him and he replied.....
Great, I am going out out on it then!!!!!!
I got some pics of him on it emailed to me today :2funny:
Sunday
Same trick, 23 years earlier :LolLolLolLol:
I hope I did stuff up tight :D
A bigger pic of it done
