Good job, what size is the frame? I always think GT's look bigger than they are due to their square shape from the triple triangle

Lookin great fella! I ran it with Pace RC30's, geometry was spot on and matched the polished Aluminium beautifully.
All the red detailing looks really good. You weighed it yet?

Cheers wold, still undecided about the forks, still yet to weigh also, very pleased with it so far, gonna need another BB as I can't shift into smallest ring up front? Not sure what size I should get though, any ideas? Can you remember what size you used with the toplines?

That's lovely :(

Reason I'm so sad is because I bought the frame off wold ranger, and it belonged to me for all of a day or two before I had to sell it :( :(

It looks amazing and I'm very jealous!
