Always wanted one of these, bike shop in Colyton Devon had one hanging in the corner of the window. Far too small for practical use, and Essex is too far for me to collect!

Doesn't look like a GT to me, although I'm not expert on them.

North Wales, although I'm up and down to the West Country once a month. I'll sort pics when I'm able, I'll be a good few weeks though, wheels are now in storage.

Why do they need to be replaceable? I've never broken a canti boss off a fork, and if you do P2 forks aren't that difficult to get hold of.

After leaving the bike trade i went to work in the automotive tyre industry, first company i worked for was a wholesaler - the warehouse would hold 750,000 upwards at any one time. The smell was something else, but not quite the same as old bike tyres. After 25 years I don't smell it any longer.

Kings Cycles in Wellington had a basement at the front of the shop, accessed through a hatch. The smell of the tyres down there was overwhelming... same as @bikeworkshop some of those tyres were donkeys years old.

Sexy purpleness! 👌 GLWS

Got the above for sale, no pics yet... Condition is okayish, bearings from memory are good, straight with no dings, hub labels/graphics a bit faded, usual mavic sticker peel on edges. They are filthy, could do with a strip and rebuild to get them properly clean. £40 collected, as I'm rubbish...

Near Prestatyn, not far from the A55.

Come on over mate, send me a PM.

I've still got this! Unearthed it this afternoon from behind a mountain of building materials. Bump it is 😎

I have shed-envy...

I enjoy the ownership of a collection, wether it's built or not. Take a box of rear mechs off the shelf and rummage through, or sort through some NOS grips or brake blocks. The building is the calming side of the ownership - bringing the parts together in some order or unison, like collecting...

GT85 and a non scratch scouring pad, a kitchen sponge with a green pad on it. The rims were just wiped over with a rag. To be fair the bike was really clean when I picked it up.

Why upgrade? Just get out and ride it! STX is good usable stuff, cranks and rear mech will be a little heavy compared to higher end stuf, more steel than aluminium. Wheels look good, new tyres, saddle is a bit battered. Take it for a spin, you'll know after that what it'll need.

@toomanyframes karma box will head to you, got your PM.

Fight!!!
