Just a small update, replaced the 9" tall Haro F4 bars with a lower 6" Fairdale MX6, it has improved looks and handling!

absolutely smashing! Love it.😍

I can not see that this is a genuine GT, as there's no steel GT frame with a integrated disc brake mount other than the GT 'Bad Mutha' Chucker and this isn't it. The rear dropouts are a big giveaway that it isn't genuine, unless for foreign markets 4130 Chromoly GT Chucker 'Bad Mutha' GT...

I would really love this one but it's quite far away....:rolleyes: If there was only one more GT I'd have, it would be a 1991 Zaskar... https://www.facebook.com/share/19SpD2ZyXb/

Are you using the original tyres that came with the bike? I found them to be decently fast on hard pack and commuting to work. I certainly think the bike could benefit from losing a few kilos, Wheels and suspension forks are the heaviest components on this bike and a bit disappointing...

I got the same bike, see this thread here, love the bike, but it's quite heavy compared to my other GT's. Quite a bit of that weight is in the forks which I hope to replace in the near future, but I will enjoy riding as is until then.

I use the Shimano pads on the U brake and the Aztec's on the front cantilevers of both my '92 GT Bravado and '91 GT Avalanche and when set up they're the best compound for these brakes...they look to be the same compound.

Bought these recently, best pads for Shimano U brakes.. https://ebay.us/m/bTzi6b

Nice find, colours are quite unusual. looks like a 2000 model. Enjoy!

I hear the same complaint about U brakes too.:rolleyes:

Looks very clean and tidy, nice job on that build!😁

Wholeheartedly agree with this! Just took out my '98 GT Tempest to admire which has had the same BMX treatment, and will be taking some photos in daylight. It has had a recent change of handlebars, gone are the 9" tall Haro BMX bars to be replaced by a Fairdale MX6 in black...looks and feels...

For the measly sum of £495...?????
