The gt is great! They’re loving it, dubs duly noted

Took this to bits today,
Was rolling in my sleep wondering what to do with it, and really I have all the “situations covered” between the pacer, xcheck and homer.
I found a good home for it with a friend, wants to do a capital P project on it, and all their other bikes are lovely, seemed more fitting than me botching out the same steel hybrid I make.
I’ve kept the Thomson on it for whatever comes next, not sure really, but after having 8 bikes or so in the house the other day I freaked out so that’s getting cut right back, 4 to start with including the partners.
The wheels, tektro cantis, sram cranks, look pedals are all up for grabs, we all saw it as a bargain on the classifieds so I’ve mentally subtracted what I would have paid for the 3 Thomson bits, if you can swing by n1 to collect dm me an offer and I’m unlikely to say no
The sram levers and deda bars are going to @yoshy for the langster he’s finally having picked up, will be nice to see what he’s doing with it.
The other xl white pomp? I loved riding around London on it last summer and was considering doing the same this year, but I should be getting rid of it. really I’d just ride the x check, I love it, it’s great and has gears and has all the fun the pomp did.
Part of me wanted to keep the frame and rebuild it a bit special down the line, but really I’ve built so many types of pomp I know ultimately I just wanted a 9 speed steel cross bike and I have one. If someone can collect from n1 and wants the whole thing? I’ll list it in the coming weeks, maybe do one more falafel ride on it.
What’s next? No idea, might have more stuff to clear out, I think if I build another bike now, now I have bikes I actually enjoy riding not just looking at?
Well it has to be a little bit dumb and quite absurd so I’ll keep an eye out for something that tickles my fancy
Would like some nice clicky wheels for the pacer tho
