Title: GHP Fans Here?
Post by: z-man99 on December 22, 2005, 05:05 AM

Just finished a restoration of my old race bike.  Thought I'd throw it on here before Bobby GHP and Subwax steal the show with their SST hub clad replica bikes:

Wow - very nice indeed!!!  :santa_afro: :santa_afro: :santa_afro:

Just needs a chain, and you're away.   :LolLolLolLol:

Seriously nice bike. Some real competition there.

Dont forget Mattdub too - he's up to something as well.

By the way - your Greg Hill signature decal is on the wrong tube - should be on the downtube, i think.

By the way, Phil - are you going to submit it in the museum?

That decal's been there since I took it home from Spoke N' Sport  21 years ago, but it could have been placed in other places on other frames.  Seems like every frame I see has slightly different decals!

Oh yah...there's a foot of snow on the ground here right now, so the lack of a chain prevents me from doing anything stupid!!! :santa_undecided:

Glad you all like it.  I have a few minor adjustments planned for it in the near future, but it's nice to look at as is. Dordy, I have extra decals available just like what you see on this frame and fork. PM me for details. And Bobby, get that beast together already!!

Bloody hell that is a beautiful job. Always loved GHPs. Those chrome pads are the best of any padsets ever produced I think.
