No connection to me, and needs a bit of work. But not seen too many of the Purple Haze paint jobs over the last year, even less on Tequesta's (usually its a Karakoram) I would have it it myself, but it's collection from York which is....miles away

Cracking paint job on that!!!

One of the best GT paint schemes imo, but fortunately too small.

Lovely bike and not that far from me, but I have spent all my pocket money already.
Do I need it? No.
Do I want it? Yes
Is it my size? Yes
Bank account balance? Computer says no!

Early Christmas present???

Not trying to tempt you @Black_puma but they do polish up really nice and the paint work on this Tequesta looks neglected rather than abused. Here is my Karakoram version (on its way to being built before I found a crack in the fork dropout :-( ) It's in the queue again

Was that the one from Newbury way? I was so tempted, but just wrong timing...

Looks stunning... but cracked drop-out! Should be able to get repaired, then it's out with your magic mix of paints (again!)

Can't really justify spending more on bikes for now, unfortunately. I'm running out of space already, as my bikes are in my living room I don't even have space for a Christmas tree, lol

I'd rather look at bikes than a Christmas tree. Spent most of Sunday sorting ours out! String out some fairy lights across the bikes and job done!

It was... it's seen a couple of incarnations before I re-clear coated it. Unbelievably, I managed to find a spare set of forks, but they now need to be clear coated to match the frame ... I may be slightly OCD on this... Next Summer....

@Black_puma totally understand on the space front!!
