I do like the look of the GT, I have a minty mint set of NOS GT bars that would look great on it!

Just a minute I have seen that frame before I originally bought it complete from Gloucester car boot for £20 three years ago,  you are right the brakelugs have been cut off not by myself but they were already like it. Good luck with the build keep us posted! Heres a pic of it the day I bought it.

Weston

You might be able to get some new brake lugs threaded into what's left on the frame.  I know on most MTB's the front fork lugs and some of the rear brake lugs thread into frame and fork bosses and are not welded on (only the bosses are welded on).  Just a thought ....

PS, as long as yer missus doesn't log onto RAD she'll never know about the crap under the sofa  :daumenhoch:
