OEM GT saddles are rather hard to find in good usable condition, I have a Viscount branded one which is very close to the GT saddle, but with a more rounded nose. Velo also do one very similar, which I suspect is mounted on the Bravado in the original post. I am quite late to the scene though...

All things considered, I have spent around £700 building my '92 Bravado last year. So it really depends on how much you want to spend to get something as nice as this '92 Bravado in really good condition and a 16" frame to boot! I don't regret spending what I did on my Bravado and would do it...

Bit steep, but it looks mint. 🥰

As per title...

I wish I could have kept all the bikes I owned back in the day, but I wouldn't have had the space for it! The Peugeot Anaconda was a nice bike and regretted trading it in against a then new Trek Antelope 820, what was I thinking? It was a replacement for my stolen Dawes Tracker. The Trek...

I might have to try that later, need to pick another can of paint first, lol Though from what I have seen the paint does dry nice and shiny, I am using Simoniz Gloss black, it's just got a lot of drips and over spray atm. I'll try the warm water tip next. Expect another update soon. ;)

possibly a blocked nozzle as the can was new, lol

well. so much for that, back to square one and I feel like I should just get the forks powder coated instead. Had another attempt at spray painting this morning but I could not get the can to spray, unless held upside down! What a waste of time, Argh! I am not getting any better results and...

I have some Rockshox Mags that could do with a rebuild, they came off my '91 Avalanche (the Avalanche has now got the original 2x4 GT forks fitted) I'm not likely to use, pm me for further details if you're interested...

That is quite a handsome bike to be honest..

There's a frame for sale on eBay...Not cheap though. https://ebay.us/m/XrkX5z I am really curious how it would handle, it seems quite a stretch! 🤣 I get trolley vibes from that...twitchy at high speeds, but I could be wrong of course.

Forks are being stripped again, wasn't happy with the result so far... Will keep trying, don't want to give up on it that easy... It's a steep learning curve, haha I will succeed... eventually..

I should really have practiced on something easier than bike forks, haha

The original GT Flip Flop stem, not exactly a lightweight, and most of that weight is in the double quill stem part, of course. But I love it, nonetheless..
