Hi all
Selling my 55cm GT Forté titanium road frame and Edge fork.
Measurements are:
55cm top tube centre-to-centre;
135mm head tube;
Seat tube is 59.5cm centre-to-top and 54 cm centre-to-centre.
About the bike:
GT Fortés are very similar to the Edge frames. The GT Edge was build in small numbers in the US by framebuilders contracted by GT (not by Litespeed...) and were polished. The Forté was built in Asia and was bead blasted.
I paid through the nose for this frame and laboriously hand-brushed it when it arrived. It took hours and two different types of Scotchbrite. It also has new-old-stock decals and looks very pretty indeed in real life.
The fork came from a different bike and isn't in as nice condition; there's some sticky residue on it (from sellotape?) but will look great with some elbow grease. The threaded steerer is plenty long enough for the frame.
I haven't actually built the frame up since finishing it.
Looking for six hundred quid, and for that I'll include postage.
