Title: 1983 GT Pro - Greg Hill Replica *Updated Pics at start of thread*
Post by: Daletsunami on September 15, 2011, 08:49 PM
This is a bit of a long story and has lasted over a number of years whilst trying to pull together all of the right parts for it.

Anyway got myself a GT Pro in white and when looking into old pics/magazines I came accross the chrome one in the first picture, and had to build it...........So I sold the white Pro and started finding the parts.

A member sold me a GT Pro with some copy tange aero forks and a few weeks later the correct 83 forks were on US ebay and I managed to grab them but then the real searching started in the way of Zap Pads, Pro Class Wheels, Campagnolo Record Hubs, Redline Brute Stem and the fun bit a set of VDC Pedal Extenders  :shocked:

Decided I did not want to go NOS with everything and once i'm sick of looking at I will be changing a few little bit's and use it as a rider, plus I like the used look  :smitten:
