And to round this project off I have added some finishing touches like chromed dust caps for the cranks, a couple of cable ties to keep the shark fin secured to the frame and bottle cage bolts. Most of the dust caps I found are usually badly scratched and the little holes tend to get damaged...

I am sure some of you may already have seen this but I found it so funny I cried! Anyway, enjoy!

I don't have any garage queens and £100+ is a big ask for non branded tyres considering I paid a lot less for my Panaracers and Ritcheys (both originals) combined! What a cheek!

Those bikes look good!

I think this frame's condition is going to put a lot off people off, even if it was cheaper, to be honest! Especially for people who would otherwise not balk at spending that kind of money!

It's sacrilege that a nice frame like a 1992 GT Psyclone should be so badly treated, I feel sorry for that frame!😭

Considering I paid a bit more for my Bravado when fully built up with the same tube set, though not fillet brazed of course. My Bravado is in much better condition for it's age and I paid a lot less for the F+F+stem alone. This '92 Psyclone frame is worth a lot less than that in it's current...

On closer inspection it looks to be in a rather sad state, way worse than I initially thought. There's a hole in the head tube and generally not great considering a lot of touch up paint!

Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't seen that yet. The Price is steep for a frame like that.

Here's one to consider... 😁 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177524375791?itmmeta=01K920SV0VQ7EH225AMV8ZCVM4&hash=item29554700ef

As per title https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286900747092? Thankfully too big for me as I prefer 16" frames. 😁

Daktari White models: 1991 Avalanche and 1992 Timberline

Steel Aggressor was 1994, after that only from 2000 onwards as entry level aluminium frames

which one would you go for, early, mid or late 90's?

Thank you, I am very pleased with how it turned out. It's definitely a nice addition to my small collection.;)
