Title: 83 GT Junior Build............
Post by: Macmania on April 21, 2011, 03:21 PM: Picked this Frame and Forks up last year with every intention of leaving it on the display shelf and admiring it.
This did happen for a while, but after a few months I couldn't stop myself from building it up :-[ ::)

Absolutely mint original condition and I just love the Euro BB and the tiny tubing used.
Anyway, here it is - hope you like it :daumenhoch:
