Haven't you just built a badass commuter GT?

Yellow bikes are great, cheerful and this Cannon looks like fun :)

Ohh, and are you going for a drop bar? please say no

Haven't you just built a badass commuter GT?

yes indeed but who'll say no to this yellow beast

i just realised that i need another one as im starting a new job nextweek so that means new route more hill and additional 2 miles so i thinks this bike is fun

Ohh, and are you going for a drop bar? please say no

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO ;)

Nice find, will make a nice commuter for sure but i would love to see this put right with some cool period stuff, Flite, CODA stem, maybe even some ano parts.

Cheers, never a fan of flite saddle ive tried on my friends bike before and i feel weird while upon riding it so im no to that...

I need a pair of this tredz has 1 only any recommendations where to get a pair?

Ordered from sjs

Thomson Seatpost and seat clamp sorted

All parts has been ordered, ive decided to get the easton bar because of the rise and swept....

Im temp to get a new wheels but, when i clean errthing this afternoon and i see nothing wrong just missing one ball bearing on the rear wheel, i went to my lbs called The London Cycle Workshop i asked only one and the guy name josh gave me more than 1 i think 4 extra...damn i wont go that far ill leave it just like that and change if its needed....

Anyway thats it for now ill update the thread soon

Frame and fork look in good shape. Was it resprayed?

Indeed, but im 100% not, there is some scratch and few chips if you look closer and still good condition, i got this near your place the story behind it is he bought it new on 2015 used for few months and garage since then, when im wiping those dust ect. Was very happy the result as he didn't mention when i talking to him on the phone...long story short howard

the story behind it is he bought it new on 2015 used for few months

Unless it's some kind of re-issue this is unlikely - BoTE are pretty old, like late nineties / early 2000s.

Maybe your right...does this work with gxp bb?

No reason why not.

This? But pretty sure need to change the freehub and cassete right, or 8 speed is fine for this cranks

Shimano would be Hollowtech 2 though, not GXP (should work as well). 9 speed crankset with 8 speed drivetrain should work, shimano will tell you otherwise though.

Wait a minute... are these chainrings oval?

Had a feeling that will work,i read few feedback online and they said it does...

Hold on.....pretty sure no its round though unless your looking in different angle

Found a decent wheelset online and im temped,but before that is there anyone after a set so i can sell this first...

Tyre, topcap and saddle fitted

The look like biopace to me.

That head badge and side font indicates a 95/96 ish age dale.

The coda seat clamp is about right for that period as well.

The look like biopace to me.

Slightly but not so sure...

Had no idea whats the exactly year this was made condition is well looked after...
