What did you do to your bike today? (v2)
officer:
Found this Gt randomly in my garage, toptube gusset, downtube gusset, does anyone know what kind of gt is this? and is this the kind of frame i should keep in my garage?
ron_weasley_T1:
Shes getting there. Sorted the narrow backend & moved the brake lugs today.
Cut the lugs off & removed brazed part of the nut as it was going to be Tig welded on. To gain the height back on the mount we welded the cut down mount to a nut (the same final height as before) & then moved the mounts 13mm closer to the seat tube (to where they should be)
No mounts
Mounts being welded on
New mounts on
Frame tidied up
Just need to spend a little more time rubbing it down & getting all of the rust off before i decided wether to clear coat it or not.
CMB:
That came out really good. Leave the rust, adds character haha.
ron_weasley_T1:
Cheers dude, I don't mind the rust, i want to try & get rid of the discolouration on the front triangle....job for tomorrow i think while the wife is hungover to fook, i'll be making a racket
Sebastian:
First BMX bike in seven years is in the mail. Sooooo stoked.
