Hi GM
I've just found this thread on my Karakoram!
I bought it on bit of a whim and didnt end up doing anything with it for awhile hence the sale.
It has now however been nitromorsed ready for re-coating-there were one or two paint chips picked up whilst in my storage, also the paint was really brittle and chipped easily.
When I started stripping the paint there was only one layer-no primer/base which I maybe expected?
A lot of the components of the frame are brazed; for example the dropouts, the chain&seatstay bridges, and the seattube/toptube piercing as well as the standard braze on fittings.
Would this frame have been a proto/initial trial batch? Or is it the same production methods as any GT from the era?
Regards.

Typical construction for GT frames from the era. I think that frame was built in Taiwan and probably at Taioku hence the serial number starting with a T.
Most bikes have brazed dropouts.
