My favourite thread by far! Lots of great bikes that inspire me to give it a try as well.
I am in the process of buying a vintage GT Karakoram which I plan to use for commuting as well as touring in the future. I think it is a 1994/5 model, in a nice blue colour with mostly original components, like the Deore LX components and Mavic rims and a fully rigid frame. It is in great condition for a great price.
What does everyone think of these old GTs, and will it work for what I plan to? I have seen some prettty sweet builds here already, like post no. 6100, 6155 and 6240. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
I should be able to upload photos soon (new to Bike Forums)! : )
