Found GTB frame beat to Sh!t in a dumpster with a busted back wheel. i think someone cut the spokes to steal it, than couldn't ride it and dumped it. Rebuilt from frame up. LOT of fun to ride. Tried the 8lb Orek challenge...I had to put the vacuum down first cause it weighed more. (don't think my Orek is 8lbs, but you get the point)
Thanks EP cycle for the rear wheel build, anyone with 1" threadless carbon forks willing to part, send message.
Fun build, used chip-less wheel paint for metallic grey, um not chipless against my Cannondale Ulock, nor the bike racks. Used tons of clear coat too.
