Early GT Tequestra Single speed

[Boscarn]

Here is my old GT Tequesta, an early version that has been converted into a single speed machine. The frame has been stripped, brushed and a couple coats of lacquer applied, although not a durable finish, it is easily maintained with a bit of wire wool and WD40. The forks are Spinner.


I have called it ‘the hooligan’, it brings a smile to my face every time I hop on it. The wheels are old MTB with exage hubs, Van Schothorst, SS spokes and 1.5” City Jet tyres. The gears have been replaced with a 16 tooth cog, and a 44 tooth chain ring fitted. The original rear brake remains, but I have given it a coat of spray paint. Most of the other bits fitted came from my spares bin.

Liking the bare look finish

Re:

Mike, I just wish it was flat, but living on the edge of Dartmoor does have its pleasures.
