Some of you may remember the thread that I put up asking whether an old GT frame and forks that I bought should be polished as best I could or should it be powdercoated.
It looked like this..

So decided to polish it and see what happened, well after a lot of time it ended up looking like this..

Well, I have now finished the build and I am to say the least very happy with the way it turned out.
I tried to use as many survivor and spare parts as I could and I think I only bought 4 items apart from the frame and forks.
It is pretty nice and reminds me of the bike I used to ride BITD.
Here it is in the sun for your viewing pleasure......
