Hey all.

Got the broken Gt Xizang frame today in the post, Cheers XCdave. Its a little to big for me but hey i need a road bike.

Its an early one with U brake which i hate with all the world, the decals are shot and the frame needs an over polish.

Suggestion 1. weld repair, ride as is (With U brake)

Suggesrtion 2. weld repair, chop off u brake mounts, fit canti mounts, beed blast to give all over satin finish.

what ya reckon?

Doug :D

I say no, nothing ccoler than an XT U-brake on your seatstays. Who's doing the repair - make sure they know to back-purge the frame.
