Title: 1981 GT Pro
Post by: rad_pitt on February 02, 2013, 05:00 PM: I had this built up before, did a trade with Denzil for the f&f (cheers mate) - it made an appearance last year on the Leeds ride, but there were a few bits that needed changing.

Big thanks to Andy Rooski for the bolt to finish my restored Tuf Neck, wazza for the survivor Grippa's, denzil for the f&f, bars and seat post - cheers lads :daumenhoch:

I've tried to keep it authentic, something you'd have seen bitd - and chrome, blue and yellow, because ALL GT's should be :smitten:

Title: Re: 1981 GT Pro
Post by: Pooch on February 03, 2013, 09:06 AM: I come to my own conclusion,that you really can't go wrong with a pre 85 gt. Such a nice frame set & you've certainly done that one justice. :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: 1981 GT Pro
Post by: DoubleD on February 03, 2013, 09:07 AM: Besides the Hutches, Kuwi's etc etc Gt is a real icon bike for most of us
