    A quick preview of what's to come....1991 GT Zaskar project.

    Spent a little time today applying the decals to the frame, With thanks to @Gil for supplying the decals! 😁 Looking a lot better now. Still waiting for an opportunity to repaint the forks... The first two attempts weren't great, so hopefully the third time will be better. It is sunny but cold...

    GT scrap yard find

    Tequesta's were still around until '99 as I had one of that year. This frame looks similar to my Tequesta. The Timberline of that period was made with mostly plain gauge 4130 (possibly a butted seat tube) tubes where as the Tequesta/Karakoram were the same frame with Reynolds 525 double butted...

    It could be a Tequesta too, or even a Bravado?

    1991 GT Karakoram Elite Commuter/All Purpose

    That looks like a great comfy ride, a nicely done build on a classic GT frame. And those Topline cranks brought back some memories from my 1993 Zaskar build, they were red anodised and really looked the part on my Zaskar! I wish I could find some Toplines again....

    GT Ritcher 8.0 1993 Build

    The Richter 8.0 model actually sat below the Avalanche for both '92 and '93 so I wouldn't think it will fetch much more than either the Avalanche and Bravado models of those years. I was also a bit confused about the line up in the GT catalogues because it was listed in the spec sheets between...

    1992 GT Bravado - FB Marketplace, looks clean and nice

    Yes, the Psyclone of that period shares the same tubeset but was obviously fillet brazed, but I would expect it to have the same ride characteristics as the Bravado of the same year. both the '92 and '93 models share the same GTX Ultra III (Which I believe was GT's custom tube sets similar to...

    1992 GT Bravado - FB Marketplace, looks clean and nice

    The Bravado was made from 1992 to 1998, maybe '99, ( I haven't seem any catalogues from after '98, so can't confirm the existence of the Bravado after '98).

    1992 GT Bravado - FB Marketplace, looks clean and nice

    Thankfully, my Bravado is in great condition so it won't need a respray anytime soon!

    1992 GT Bravado - FB Marketplace, looks clean and nice

    It does look very nice, but it makes me appreciate mine a bit more as it is still the original paint work. I was toying with the idea of getting new decals for it but I'll keep it as it is because it is still original with it's little marks of use. It is a 33 year old bike after all but at a...

    1992 GT Bravado - FB Marketplace, looks clean and nice

    OEM GT saddles are rather hard to find in good usable condition, I have a Viscount branded one which is very close to the GT saddle, but with a more rounded nose. Velo also do one very similar, which I suspect is mounted on the Bravado in the original post. I am quite late to the scene though...

    1992 GT Bravado - FB Marketplace, looks clean and nice

    All things considered, I have spent around £700 building my '92 Bravado last year. So it really depends on how much you want to spend to get something as nice as this '92 Bravado in really good condition and a 16" frame to boot! I don't regret spending what I did on my Bravado and would do it...

    What mountain bikes did you own BITD?

    I wish I could have kept all the bikes I owned back in the day, but I wouldn't have had the space for it! The Peugeot Anaconda was a nice bike and regretted trading it in against a then new Trek Antelope 820, what was I thinking? It was a replacement for my stolen Dawes Tracker. The Trek...

    A quick preview of what's to come....1991 GT Zaskar project.

    I might have to try that later, need to pick another can of paint first, lol Though from what I have seen the paint does dry nice and shiny, I am using Simoniz Gloss black, it's just got a lot of drips and over spray atm. I'll try the warm water tip next. Expect another update soon. ;)

    A quick preview of what's to come....1991 GT Zaskar project.

    well. so much for that, back to square one and I feel like I should just get the forks powder coated instead. Had another attempt at spray painting this morning but I could not get the can to spray, unless held upside down! What a waste of time, Argh! I am not getting any better results and...
