Retro Newbie
Hi,

New to here, but not to MTBs, I've just picked up my winter project. It's in great condition, but needs a strip and rebuild and a couple of new bits.

Couldn't resist it when I saw it at the bike charity shop near me. I think a friend had one the same when it was pretty new.

Seen a couple of pics of others where the front brake cable isn't routed through the stem. Anyone know it that's a good or bad thing... Or maybe country specific?

Ta!

In which world does this happen? :shock:

I know! Trust me, I was as shocked as you. It had a full length rear guard and pannier rack attached. Plus a good old fashioned bike bell, so I can only assume it was a shopping bike. :roll:

Re:

Wow that's a great find, looks really original too. The cable routing on yours is the correct way to do it. Nice one :D

Said it once and I'll say it again...... GT's best year for paint schemes in my opinion
