Title: GT makeover :)
Post by: markyp on September 07, 2012, 05:11 PM: i built the gt just over three years ago now and although it was a really nice build i always had it in mind to one day change the colour scheme to make it look a little more 'gt' as for me red just isnt gt at all.
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/pp119/parsnip73/P3190810.jpg)

with a patterson pr200 build on the go and needing some red parts for it i decided that the time was right to change the gt about.some parts are on the patterson(hopefully will be finished in about 2 weeks) and some have gone on the robbo,which is now having a make over too :crazy2: :idiot2:

anyway heres the result hope you likey,its defo more 'gt' now for me anyways,hope it doesnt look worse :D

Just trying to decide if a GT Pro would look good with DC1020's and here's the answer.... And yes it does!

Sweet build Mark - like it loads. :smiley6600:
