GT 700c Functional

Hell yes!
Edit: new page fail, there you go:

Yeah! GT beaters club

Yeah pretty much that . Where did you get the Bullmoose ?

‘On here’ -its an old Nitto one. I second what was said earlier about how stiff they are, they are great!

I'll keep an eye out. Definitely want a basket after seeing your bike.

Here's that one I was on about:

Not sure what's going on with the seatpost but otherwise a rad bike

Like that !

Just ordered these for £55 , nearly new off eBay . Will see how they look with adapter. If not I’ll just save them for another bike .

Good buy! I’m after a threadless set too

If anyone’s sellijg a cheap 9/10/11 speed wheelset let me know . Pref. Silver/grey rims but open to anything .

frame arrived , real cool. Seat post that came with it might be a little short i think, might need taller saddle? who knows. Need to source seat tube bolt as well which shouldn't be hard.

well nice dude

That is already badass and you haven't even finished it yet!

cheers @MCamb @frankenbike . found a seat bolt off an old frame in garage so that's sorted.

watching a few shimano zee shifters and mech for this on eBay. have only ever ridden 23/25c tyres, do i need to gear down a bit for wider 38/40c tyres?

Looks super rad with that bullmoose!

I've got a zee mech, want to make me an offer?

Go Sram and 40-44t (NW) on the front, on the back whatever you usually ride.. looking forward to see it with some (more serious) rubber!

Is it short/long?

Yeah I need some wheels for this first , the clearances are pretty big so I reckon I’ll go as big as possible . If anyone has some 35-40c tyres for sale I’m interested . Don’t really want to end to spending more onctures than the frame

I’m sure you’re aware of this, but you need to make sure the Seatpost extends past the top tube junctions by a cm or 2 to avoid tears.

Yeah, I have put on my turbo saddle today which has a bit more distance from rails to saddle, pushing seatpost further into frame , if you understand what I mean . If it comes to it I’ll buy a new seatpost

Other saddle and Ultegra B.B. and 105 cranks . Need to find my B.B. tool too install properly . On lookout for 110bcd narrow wide . Might just have to buy a new one , has anyone used the cheap eBay j and l rings? Might be best just to buy a race face one for £35

BH20MAY18 that’s a 20% discount code for superstar during May, and it’s free shipping on chainrings. They’re decent.

Cheers . Ordered
