Title: My first GT build...budget even
Post by: reilley1 on March 13, 2006, 10:42 PM

Recently realized I don't have a GT in the stable, so I took this beat up old frame I had and Johnny Johnson had it repowdered.  At the same time, I had a Boss fork done in black for another bike.  When i saw them together I had an idea of putting together a bike with a bunch of leftover parts I have lying around. Sooo....

Not exactly killer but definitely under $200 or so

Reilly,

All your builds are killer, but even your budget bike comes out not looking like a cheap job - I like it :daumenhoch:

if thats a cheap build then i would hate to see you splash out rick. Like it, gt is an important make to have in the stable.
