Not one for the purists but it's my first retro build and if it's not fully retro then it's certainly retro-inspired. Got the frame, forks, wheels and a few other bits from here, some from ebay, some lying around and the modern stuff was all CRC bargains. Pride of place goes to the 1997 STX rear mech that came stock on my GT Timberline and has sat unused for about 12 years!
Still have a couple of tweaks to do (brakes mainly, it's been a long time since I set up anything with cables!), and not ridden her yet but after a long time imagining what it's going to look like it's nice to see it in the flesh.
