Very nice Sam. The white/gold/yellow/blue combo looks really good. I especially like the close up shot of the headset/stem area

I think the two colour gold / blue anodizing looks fantastic with the white - great choice and build
When I was born, the world was a far simpler place.
It was all just cops and robbers.
And BMX.

Cracking build, colour way works really   :coolsmiley:


I don't think an 890 will work   :-\

Couple of options, easiest being porkchop for a repop

If you can get anno done and want to do something really different a Dia Compe or 750 Centre pull would be the ticket.

Sam, you want a DC or Wienman 730 on the rear, i've just put one on my JMC running 1 3/8s and it reaches perfectly - geometry/reach should be pretty similar to the GT  :daumenhoch:

Is the rear wheel rammed between your arse cheeks or do you just save that treat for visitors to the loft?  :-*

That looks refreshingly cool with the white frame set, Colour is King  :smitten:

Nothing wrong with a Pro size bike running 20x1-3/8" wheelset, makes it look faster.
(bitd i ran 1-3/8" on my Changa Long for a while, and there was a noticeable difference in speed)

Um good question I reckon they are new as they just haven't stopped making them, maybe changed where they are made though, if you are after old ones you could restore a set of old weinmanns or maybe even pick a NOS set up, they'd have most likely used weinmanns BITD.

There's a possibility I have a small gold caliper in the spares box  ^"^

I'll let you know tomorrow Sam.
