GT Karakoram elite..91 ....

Beautiful. I picked up a '91 Karakoram with the red inferno paint job a few years ago for $40 off Craigslist. Dream bike in high school I couldn't afford, so really wanted one, if even just to restore. Picked it up, few sizes too small, & didn't need another bike. But, under plenty of dirt & grease revealed an almost-mint paintjob & components that were lightly used. After a complete teardown/clean/polish, turned out showroom-worthy. Re-sold for quite a profit to another enthusiast, so a win-win :)
