Early GT 29er (kind of...) More pics and musings

Re: Early GT 29er (kind of...)

so how does it compare to modern 29er geometry?

...here's a blurry photo behind my Singular Swift- Its on a slight slope so looks higher than the singular- but very similar angles...




As suspected the high, steep stem means that with drop bars this should give almost exactly the same position (in the drops) as my singular set-up.

On-one Midge on order...

Lovely paint job!

Please treat us to some pics that do this frame justice!

Good point. Evening light, camera phone and no time have conspired to give the above. Once I start the build proper I'll get some sunny footage of the GT in its developing glory.

Drop bar shifters arrived today, so build should commence once handlebar arrives form on-one...Fun fun fun

Re: Early GT 29er (kind of...) maybe for sale now

Need a bit of space so the frame and forks etc is now up for grabs for someone to make something scrummy. £85 posted.

Re: Early GT 29er (kind of...) Update w drop bars

Pic of the latest incarnation here. It has a 2 speed automatic hub so no cabling, 40mm knobbly tyre at the front and 32 at the back. Rides good- looks great.
