Thrust, there's few reason why I decided to go with mix and not full Mavic. I think that the biggest reason was finding that HED 24" front rim and this resulted in HED rear disc. On the other hand if you compare these cranks that I have:
I myself find the 107s more sexyh:)
TM, I'm probably gonna keep that bar and if I ever decide to drive that bike maybe it will get some risers.. dunno yet but as I a little bit revealed my intensions this will end up for sale probably.
Indra, GT is a shitty place to get any info and I don't personally know how many were made with 24". If you google these bikes some of them are with 700c forks but that might be that the owners wanted to make them drivable and couldn't handle the crazy geo. My dedicated guess would be that there are handful of these frames made with 24" fork because these were the training bikes for the olympic track team members for Atlanta Olympics in 1996. My fork isn't actually the original but it is a GT 24" fork that was custom painted for me and it is the same fork that these had with the only difference that it is spaced to 80mm. Unfortunately the serial didn't give any glue about the amounts manufactured because some other bikes have the same serial that came out from the GT's Longmont custom shop.
