Recently procured a GT GTB frame in a suitable size for me! And I've started getting a few parts off here from a multitude of friendly forumengers of LFGSS. This is a bit of a vanity project as the frame is in pretty good condition and I'm planning to try and keep it that way. Nice dry weather sort of ride.
Sorry for the shit photos, I'll get some proper ones taken once the build is properly on it's way.
As it stands I've got the frame, original forks w/Tange passage HS and original seatpost. Also unbranded quill stem and Ritchey ergo drop bars.
The components that I've bought are mostly drive train related but I've got other spares that I'll list here for different possible of configurations.
Drivetrain parts are:
And hubs to be built 32h front and rear:
Spares are as follows:
90's Fizik saddle that came with the frame / Selle Italia Flite Flow w/Ti rails (kinda huge for my small self) / Fizik Arione / Selle Italia Turbo / Possibly SI Carbonio Kit Flow (But I'm enjoying that on my Mash)
Nitto risers (cut down) / Nitto RB021 black. Although I definitely want some nice drops for this.
Miche supertype seatpost (which, tbh, is going nowhere near this build)
So at the moment I'm looking for a bit of advice/opinion about what to do next. What rims to lace to the DA's? Keep the original seatpost or not? Also cockpit advice, because I want to swap out the stem and bars for something a bit nicer.
I've got a fair bit of time to consider all of this, the weather isn't looking like it's gonna get better anytime soon. Time isn't an issue but money might be now as I've spent a fair bit on the components.
Any comments are welcome!
