Title: GT - trouble sorted !
Post by: Gashead on August 01, 2006, 07:29 PM

A couple of us have bought these frames from accross the pond and found that the frames are 1 1/8 and the forks are 1"

So hey presto !!! A couple of shim reducers in the frame ie from 1 1/8 to 1" and a Shimano hp mc30 headset and Bobs your uncle - hope this helps anyone who has bought one of these or intends to buy !!! :daumenhoch:

Yeah just spotted the rug! Quality! I went to Ron Jons surf shop at Cocoa Beach in Florida many years ago. It used to be the worlds biggest surf shop

I really like those frames and forks, does anyone have a spec sheet or review that details what they would have been supplied with as stock?
