first build in over 3 years,83 GT Pro
« on: August 23, 2016, 09:06 PM »
after having sold everything in 2013 bar one I thought id get back on the horse again
bought this as a complete off Daz BADDH,with the help of joff who put us in touch with each other after a chat we'd had
was a stunner to begin with but just wanted to change some of the parts to make it feel like mine(loved a lot that was already on it so fair play to daz for that)
and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out

before


after








83 GT Pro F&F,undrilled forks
Robinson pro bars
repopB1Bs
repop Haro plate
DC tech 3
DC MX 1000
Sugino stem
repop padset
Araya 7X laced to Suzue hubs
Elina LB seat
DC MX Hinged seat clamp
Sugino Maxy Cross Crank
MKS BM Pedals

cheers

Looks tidy that Stu, nice job. You just know that if its from Dazza, it will be mint.

I'd whizz a link or 2 out of that chain though before you take it out.  :daumenhoch:
