Finally!!! I've finished the GT LTS that I promised the missus at the beginning of the year.
She's Race ready and rides like a rocket (the bike not the missus that is)

I powder coated the rear linkage and the cranks myself to match the colour of the forks.
She did get to keep the old chain though, waste not want not I suppose.

Anyway she loves it so I must have done something right...

Really nice!

I got an LTS for my gf to come out and play on earlier this year and she loves it! I won't show her your wifes though... Could see it costing me quite a bit more to get upto that level! :lol:
