'94 GT Psyclone

eastcoaststeve · Mar 18, 2011

Previously posted over on the "other" forum, but thought I'd share with my friends on the other side of the pond....

I've been lusting after a Psyclone for quite a while, and after a few missed opportunities, and a bit a bad luck, one finally popped up that I managed to get my hands on.

Not exactly a beauty queen as she arrived:

Quick strip to rid the frame of further embarassment:

mmmm...fillet brazed:

A few parts for the build:

Looking forward to giving this one a good go soon.

This looks much better already, you've saved it!

I too love the old Psyclone's...can't wait to see it built (properly)

lovely frame! good to hear you have saved her from looking like a circus bike..

so staying as a single speed by the looks of it?

Nice bike

Do you happen to have the weight of the frame? Just curious...

Looking forward to seeing this one progress. No pressure though!

Thanks. That's not a bad weight at all, especially when fillet b frames are supposedly heavier than TIG ones.
