Nice, I built one close to that. There nothing that handled like a GT. They always and still have it right.

Question though-
The 83's had the Nora cup decal, are you sure its an 82? Just curious. Some say there were Nora 82's.

yes sure mate..I just like the nora cup sticker..sort of belongs on the 82 i reakon..
Its a bit like the 84 bars on an 82 frame...for me its, what i like and what i can find too....Hard to find good condition uncut early GT bars..
Was your GT blue Brad??

damn, I swear GT's have to be the sweetest rides on the planet, simple, yet advanced, light, yet strong...and talk about angles, my wifes getting jelous...;-)

just a little something i threw together.

I love GT's and this one's really nice too. Time to build a chrome one I think. Going to build a black one too.

I miss that bike. It wasn't quite finished with it yet, but opportunity knocks. I wanted to get that hop out the front rim but never got around to trying and I don't think it was possible (totally). The BB cups went in tough to press in. Other than that the bike turned out pretty nice. Those were real decals too.
