FINALLY got a 1991 GT Karakoram K2

[Bicycle Addict]

It has arrived, and it arrived with a free frame, a Bomtempi?? Never heard of them before, nice enough frame for free.

Looking good

Brake and mech are in the way to you.

 

[Bicycle Addict]

Thanking you Tim.
Going to strip the Specailized Stump Jumper Comp tomorrow and transfer parts over, will use the BB out of the Comp until I can get a sealed unit.
Going 3 X 7 XT, not sure still whether to go thumb shifters or shifter barke combos.
I am pretty stoked about this, and also the Bontempi is quite a nice frame too. Bonus.

I have a black XT canti coming available soon should you be interested for the front

 

[Bicycle Addict]

Thanks Tim, will let you know if I need them, I am good right now.
Will be stripping the Specailized tomorrow, cleaning parts and transferring over before deciding on config etc, feel the stem may wreck my back, time will tell, I have an I Beam stem a bit shorter that this with more rise which may suit more.

Got the BB and cranks on( the BB was supposed to be 122.5 managed a 113, so chain line is going to be good). Also got the rear mech on, will get a pic tomorrow

 

[Bicycle Addict]

Couple of pics, it is getting close.
