here is my new project, will be replacing the wheels, got a another set in the pipeline, sourcing the chainset, and awaiting the rear mech from Haggis (and some manitou comps if i fancy suspension up front)

Thats nice Matt.

Keep it rigid, I certainly didnt regret it on my old ss Tequesta.
 
alas it isnt a paintjob, its just stickers to cover up the black and blue crossover, but yep, still looks good, cant wait to ride her, i always have a softspot for steel bikes
 
updated, and finished, thereabouts, just gotta sort a couple of small things, did try the suspension look, didnt suite it, so keeping it rigid

Nice.....


but unsure about the cranks :?

yeah, know what you mean, looked ok in my head, but i have a pair of lx M563 cranks i might put on there
 
Looks good to me :cool: I love mine :D agree about the cranks though :?
 
Not a GT fan myself but I liked your bike and like the frame colours, keep it rigid and change to silver arms cranks, that will finish it off nicely :)
