I got this locally because it was round the corner and figured I would part it out. Sizing in photo but is 13.5 inch BB centre to TT centre. However, having done a kid sized rebuild with my daughter recently, I felt guilty and figured someone might make better use of it with their...

That's the kiddie, so that's the flip flop 3?

I think that is the one that i have seen elsewhere, it’s hard to tell in the images but it seems to be without anything with the company’s branding. The quill one i have has the cap over the back of the stem stamped with GT etc.

That’s exactly the kind of thing i was looking for, obviously GT with the logo in like the current one, but threadless!

I have a Pantera Al that i am midway through doing up that i have had since i was a kid. It originally had (and i do still have) the GT branded quill stem. I am putting on a set of bombers and threadless aheadset. Did any GT from the 1993-1995 kind of era ever come with a stem that was the same...

Thanks, i saw these but already have a set from @BrushedAluminium on the way

Would consider it definitely. Green would be the ideal as the wheels are mavic citrus but red would work. Need them in good nick so they look nice on the bike! Will be adding one of the dr zocchi canti hangers to the bridge so i can stay with the original style of brakes.

Pulled it all to bits yesterday. It's tricky because the current steerer is 1 1/8 threaded whereas these are inevitably going to be threadless. My guess is that i will need at least 185mm minimum. Possibly a bit more for comfort as that would mean i am zero stack and no spacers.

Thanks, i have the frame in the back of my truck at work today so i will go and have a measure at lunchtime

I am after a pair of bomber Z2, 1 1/8 steerer, earlier variants with the CNC style brace and no disc mounts. Would prefer the green-leg light version for purely cosmetic reason but any other variant in good condition considered. Posted in UK. Thanks

Are bombers still available ?

Ta, the 70mm one i bought claims to be for XCR 99 era and works exactly as expected.

Damn it, there's always a catch. How can i build a desirable retro weapon without some nice grey amtico (which incidentally looks identical to my own kitchen floor)

Hi, just wondering if you had seen my PM?

Well that’s a good thing. Will PM you
