a wee shot of the new GT Tequesta- really pleased with it, should scub up well and top tube is 22 inch and that coupled with the huuuuuuuuuuge stem makes for a more comfortable ride- has about 7mm of front boing too :roll:

have posted up a few more pics in the readers wifes errrmm bikes section.

Looks great that does , the matching stem is a cool thing on those early steel GT's

Will need to give Glentress a miss tomorrow, got the car sorted ok today but the garden is like a freakin jungle after all that rain :x ,
if it's dry tomorrow i'll need to spend the time getting on top of it all :roll:

Gaz, great bike, lovely colour scheme, not shiny tin foil I note, just a shame its a GT :roll:

I think I'm suffering from the GT's, everywhere I look they're their :shock: , they're rolling across the ceiling of my bedroom at night :shock: , when i close my eyes they're still their :cry: , I think they're following me down the street..........HELP ME PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also Kaiser, I'm afraid I'm going to be good and stay on tarmac tomorrow, Glentress would just rattle my ribs too much

know what you mean velo, GT's never did it for me BITD and then I got a timberline, made out of lead, so def. put me off, but it is pretty light tange D. butted and feels quite nice and the paint job is cool as feck, needs touched up but I have a thing for these weird paint splatter effects :roll: , another project as it seems the proflex is sold now

Looks good, I promise you the ride will be a big surprise, ok maybe not as natrual as the inbred but good in a retro way


Guys no probs, need to do a big run and maybe can the bike myself.

You girls had better be on good form next month when we meet. Just pounded the Klunker around the red route at Dalby. What a bike! Great picking off the modern stuff and ace over the jumps. Don't think I have ever had so much fun on a bike in ages. Looks a little rough now as the days action has stripped the paint off the drive side stays and it's squeeking and rattling everywhere. Full report to follow later.

will you bring it to trumpton?

 

[clockworkgazz]

Dr have you a aftermath thread? total respect taking that beautiful bike round dalby, totally insane :shock:

BTW don't worry mate, we were born ready- you better have had your ready break to keep up with the hairy jocks :twisted:

Will try and get the GT up and running asap and will bring it to the next ride to put it thru it's paces.
