This years winter project. I believe it’s a 1995 or so. It’ll be used on trails and connecting dirt roads.
Somewhat of a franken-bike right now. |

Dig it. My wife's old TST built early 90's rigid Dean has a custom Clockwork LD stem and fork along with WTB Dirt Drops. Used the new fork to redo the geometry to better suit 26 x 1.75" Panaracers and city riding. Old Deans are a great value and fun for sure. Wife, kid and I all have one.
Try tipping the nose up on the saddle and lowering as needed if you have any issues with wrists, weight distribution etc. Enjoy! |

[QUOTE=RFC;2524245]I totally dig this bike and build. I have a mid 90's Litespeed that I want to convert, but I need that stem. What is it? Oh, and the Tricolor 600 is my favorite Old School work horse RD. It just never misses a beat.
That Litespeed will make a great dirt drop. I'm using a Velo Orange Cigne stem with a 70mm reach. it looks weird, but puts the drops at a perfect level. |

I think I am going to use this GT as an all in one bike. It rides fantastic. Disadvantage is tire size, a 38 barely fits, however the 30s are so supple on the road. I saved up all my money as a kid for a GT mach one. As an adult i never really considered or knew about Gt road and Gravel bikes. Pretty stoked on this Grade.

This "Builder's Special" from DeSalvo looks pretty interesting. Not too familiar with his bikes, but this seems like a good value.
