Blackcat’s ‘91 GT Karakoram

Bit of context with this build.. my little brother had one of these from new, Christmas ‘91, I guess. The bike shop that Santa bought the bike from was a roadie-focused place.. and my then 10 year old brother spotted black and red Cinelli cork tape that matched the inferno paint job. No one could talk him off the ledge.. and ultimately Santa was forced to spend a significant portion of his sleigh ride carefully winding it onto those L-bends… so, in tribute to that…
