Hi All,
First post (hello!), but I've lurked for a while and have a long and colourful history of re-homing unwanted bicycles... Anyway, I have just rescued this from an untimely trip to the metal skip where i work. Brakes and drive chain are toast but the frame seems pretty tidy and the paintjob is... eye-catching. I can't pass a GT in need, I've always loved the look of them.
(Apologies if I've ballsed up the link, I'm better with bikes than the internet).
In the cold light of day, when the excitement of the rescue had diminished, I've had to admit to myself that the frame is way too small for me (not measured yet but i'd guess 16 inch ish), so it'll either be a fixer upper for the OH, or a clean up and sell on. Not knowing much about pre-2001 GT's, is this worth the effort, or have I let my sentimental side overrule common sense?! Any idea what the frame would be worth if i take off the knackered parts, check it for dings and show it some love?
Cheers!
