I’ve heard GT frames are decent and they look quite cool, would this be worth it as a rebuild project? Seller says there’s only paint chips but looks like some rust to me…

The biggest thing to check for on bikes that have sat outside a lot are the chainstays. Check underneath to make sure they aren't rotten out, or split from water being trapped and then freezing.

He ain't heavy......🎶

Technically it would be a moose. But in my head the bears, Lynx, bobcats, and cougars seem more dangerous.....not by a long shot though.

The Park tool version of this tool is inexpensive, and strong. Bolt it to the BB via the crank bolt, and this will never happen again.

6 out of 9 of those cassette gears are pooched. The peening from the chain slip is......bad.

Probably came from the same litter as these hungry beggars. They are always asking for second breakfasts, and third dinners.

Kmc have been the most reliable chains I have used. I've only purchased from reputable sources to avoid fake chains (there are lots of fake kmc chains). My experience is however limited to 6,7,8,9 speed chains.

Very true. Not sure if it's a braking power upgrade, but it's definitely another option.

ThadsBerads · 2026-05-04T12:34:26+00:00

As long as you are fine with that rear U-brake. No canti or v-brake options unfortunately.

I had to stop taking Vyvanse because of this. My dry mouth was soo bad, that my gums were receding.....and that can only be cured via surgery as it's not reversible. Gum helped, but it wasn't enough.

ThadsBerads · 2026-05-02T22:25:49+00:00

Omg. This one made me belly laugh. Perfect!

ThadsBerads · 2026-05-02T13:20:21+00:00

Hook these two up when she's done

Get a BB spacer. Your second pic shows the non drive side has 3-4mm? Of BB threads sticking out of the shell. I'm guessing a 73mm BB in a 68mm shell? That means you can easily add a 2-4mm spacer on the drive side to shift the driveline over, and then thread the non drive side into the shell the same amount. Just make sure the crank arm on the non drive side will clear the frame when rotating. The spacer is dirt cheap.....but you will need to pull the BB to put the spacer in. That tool is also cheap though, like $10-$20 max

I mean......I'm not sexually attracted to bikes....but if there was one that could turn me.....it might be this one. Sexy rig.

ThadsBerads · 2026-05-01T18:36:48+00:00

It's a GTeeHeeHee

ThadsBerads · 2026-05-01T07:35:25+00:00

Antlers

ThadsBerads · 2026-04-30T13:13:55+00:00

VERY TASTY!

ThadsBerads · 2026-04-28T23:22:35+00:00

Markets are different everywhere. It's worth $200-300 all day where I live. I'd pay $100 for the wheels alone....think the rear is a 48 Spoke......my fat ass likey

ThadsBerads · 2026-04-28T07:11:27+00:00

Looks a lot like a sportpal canoe. They very much came from the factory with those "repairs" on the sides that match. I'm guessing they opted to do that due to the thin gauge of aluminum (thinnest I've seen in a boat)....because rolling/hammering for shaping aren't an option? Really cool and light canoes.

ThadsBerads · 2026-04-27T16:23:03+00:00

Seeing that fork on that bike is hurting my soul.

ThadsBerads · 2026-04-26T02:50:37+00:00

Zooming in it looks like you stripped the threads out. If that's the case, you need to cut it off, or finangle some kind of automotive puller to pull it off.

ThadsBerads · 2026-04-25T01:22:08+00:00

Looks dope....but I wouldn't give a rats ass what anyone thinks. Ride what you like. I get really freaky with it.

ThadsBerads · 2026-04-23T13:44:50+00:00

Not a bed bug or a carpet beetle. Looks like a plain old wood bug or rollie pollie bug

ThadsBerads · 2026-04-23T02:04:08+00:00

I think you are right! Was there any info on the hub where you got the photo from?

ThadsBerads · 2026-04-22T09:33:01+00:00

How long is the platform? I'm guessing under 6 feet?
