Nice bit of kit it might help with the hands alot, mine are arteritis related more than anything. I've always wanted to try mothers will one day.Trust me you helped all chrome would have ended up in black paint 🤣

Raining yesterday, so here you guys go real sunshine pictures! What did I learn from this one? Dave Voelker is still cool, last bike release before the GT team got disbanded 7th months ago I think, was a 29" bmx hybrid retails around £400 :cool: Would like to buy a piston stem to go with GT...

Haaa Lucidone me too! It was a challenge for me and this bike has taught me something which I'm going to go back to my original Night Burner to re-do.😅 It's funny after doing two bikes the knowledge was poured into this one.😉 But it helps when you and Novacain guide me in the right direction...

GT grips have arrived and are on! Decided to paint the primo bar ends they will look nice once I've fixed them up a tad.

Just few more shots, the badge was mocked to see what it looked like, and I like the silver on this beauty🥰 My brother can't make it down for awhile, so its been left on the back Burner pun intended😅 I will wait for him to do the chain though!

Hey Novacain I really wasn't vested into this bike, but as it went along I can't wait to give her a spin around my routes. I'm looking at taller bars, some blank Tech's 4 they are cheap at the moment (10") guessing Blank had pulled out of the market or over supply? As always thanks for the...

Its true! I think it was a waste of a bike before I knew actually what it was. On forums its hard to gauge if you do things correctly, but I just got on with it and I think with a few tweaks this will end up better and usuable for sure. Thanks for the comments appreciated:)👍

Well the brakes arrived and really happy with them! I got them cheap so expecting them to be silver or scratched, but they were absolutely fine! New cable is way better the old one I pulled out still had cobwebs and a massive kink in the housing You know when you search for stuff, but can never...

Started on the front end and its was smooth runnings! Greased up the bearings top and bottom made sure I placed the spacers and all the other bits that I can't name, went in order. Only issue was the spacer between steer fork and Stem didn't know how much header room to leave for the top nut to...

Trick nuts back on, had to de-rust one 14mm nut, but the rear is done now! Didn't like the SR seat so got a nice deep black swade seat, will mount it soon as. Just waiting for front calipers and some grips. Might change the font outer brake cable because of a big kink where it mounts on the fork🤔

I've come into a little snag, I converted the front brakes to the rear which wasn't that hard, but as usual I'm not seeing what's wrong, but the spring I'm using which is gold for the right side seems to be higher and the cap doesn't quite cover the whole mounting? The left side was really easy...

Bit more progress. The chain I used suited the bike against the black its like gold bronze in colour! Had a blond moment where the tensioners would tighten up, as I pedaled to test it. But I haven't stuck the stunt pegs with lock nuts to fix the tension of the chain. 😅 The only other issue is...

I had been thinking why the rear wheel and brake calipers are different from the front ones? My conclusion led me to think this rider had smashed the rear wheel and bent the calipers also! As I feel why would GT stick the silver caliper on the back and have a black one on the front. This is...

Hey Novacain I thought I lost a part but this was all I had is on the bike when I found it. There was a 1mm thin washer and another .05mm, but they were need to space out the chain wheel attachment bolt which would have hit the BB on the chain side. Added better pictures for the other side...

So Ive started to fit a few parts and it was hit and miss as the crank arms hit the bearing housing a few times. It was trial an error but the feel was the rings had to hit the bearing ring exactly so as I tightened the crank arm bolts it didnt crush/ bind on the bottom bracket. My question is...

Hey Novacain, thanks for the help appreciated. I,ve never had to break a chain except at the quick release point, so I guess removing that whole quick link, which is in two parts, and then join the main chain I think if i can get it to split at the new points, I should be ok! 👍

Not much to report as have to wait for paint to harden up and cure a bit before mounting stuff. One front wheel is definitly finished, started on the other one, but I get really upset when you take one spoke out and its 5mm shorter than the ones you have already got😅 I did change out two of the...

Finally finished the front wheel came out good 👍Worked hard on the pedals seems someone had used paint stripper and never cleaned the stuff off and it eaten the aluminium making the paint flake off in places. You could be right🤐 I've seen better DXs pedels ,but hey ho keeps me busy 😄🤫 Rear...

Today went well.:) Spent alot of time changing over the rusty spokes! I trued the wheel to exactly the same tension per spoke took awhile doing two at a time, but it was worth it. The chewed out Tech77's came out really well didn't they?? 😁😂🤣 Preparing the wheel for some primer from the brake...
