Well nearly !!! 99% anyway !! Just waiting for a left shifter pod (Guido hopefully gonna be a top fella and send me one ;-) and the clear grips to arrive !!

All feedback welcome unless somebody has a moan up about my polishing techniques again !! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ill add a few better pics when I get the chance out riding it !!

Should anyone be interested its all pretty much period - Mavic rims and best of all FULL XTR M900 groupset, inc brakes, gears hubs, even the cables.... Have XTR spuds but preffered to have norm pedals on this one :D

Im Lovin It !!!!

Hi there, i am not normally big on GT's but got to say i think your's is just stunning. Dont know how you achieved that frame finish but if it was pure elbow grease then respect to you as it must of took ages. Well done it's a beauty!
