Clean it up, polish the frame and enjoy riding it, it looks in decent condition!

looks to be in decent condition, shame it's too far away for me. Cost of travel will outweigh the value of the bike, as much as I like it, I am not that desperate. 😁

My Timberline was heavily upgraded when it got stolen in 1993, so it won't be same bike. 😒

The first one I have seen in this size and colour in UK since my first GT Timberline (same size and colour) got stolen! https://ebay.us/m/a43Ib9

PM sent! re; Shimano XT pedals!

Thanks @d8mok, that is settled then! ;)

I take it you don't like the shop?

I have just been to the Vernon Barker bike repair shop (frame builders too) this afternoon and they have said whilst they could try do the job it is not without risk of failure. And as the forks are usable as they are now I'll probably clean up and get them repainted. It would of course have...

worth bearing that in mind thanks!

Hi all, I am looking for some decent wheels for my '91 Zaskar project. Ideally they would have to be Shimano Deore XT hubs like M730 or M735 laced to a decent set of rims like Mavic/Araya/Ritchey's. I have already been scouring eBay in the hope to find some wheels, though some appear on eBay...

Nice! :p

That Timberline frame is 16" (GT Measures centre BB to centre top tube)

https://ebay.us/m/Otbdod I bought one of these for my '91 Zaskar build, nice condition too.

Sadly I don't have a suitable place to do this job myself without spending more than it will cost to have it done professionally...

That is a good point! But as the forks need repainting anyway I would think they could be the best option and not too far away from me. I don't know why I didn't think of that before, 😒.

I would like to thank you all for your input and I would think that the general consensus is to get the screw drilled out somehow, but I have no experience in doing this so I would personally not want to take the risk of doing this myself. I value these GT forks enough to not want to ruin them...

I hate to admit that i have never learned how to do this, which is obviously why I'm asking for advice on HOW to do this. Never have had to do this before so I'm rightfully nervous about screwing this up! I could say I'm fortunate in a way that I've never encountered such issues before, but...

That would certainly be the easiest option, to be honest. :p

Exactly the problem, there's not a lot of space and very easy to mess up!

So, from what I have read here so far, I'd have to invest in some tool to get this job done, could anyone recommend a brand/type of tool that would be up the job as I don't want to waste too much time or money as I don't want to get the forks damaged by inferior tools. These GT 2x4 forks are...
