Big thanks to Retrodecals too for the custom decals. Fantastic job. Putting them on was a bit tricky, I used a laser level to get them straight.

It would be nice to get a matching XT crankset, but with the prices of good ones it might have to be LX. It's an IG chain setup too so limited choices. For forks I was thinking a nice pair of SID's or perhaps Fox Floats. In black of course 😁

It's been a couple of years since I bought this frame. To swap out parts from my old 1997 GT Timberline and add new ones found online. Still an ongoing project, not sure about the RST's and still looking for a decent crankset.

Thanks for the reply, it was very helpful. Head tubes are about 10mm difference. BB appears smaller on the steel frame so new one required. As you also pointed out, the seatpost will need changing - I wanted a new one anyway :D

This is my first post on the site - I'm looking for a bit of advice regarding a frame swap from any GT experts out there. One of my older bikes, a 1998 GT Timberline 18" with upgraded RST forks, is sadly showing signs of rust on the steel frame. I was thinking of getting a replacement frame of...
