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.

Franken-bike for sure!

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!

I know this is going to sound nuts, but I like this bike so much more without the Pontiac hubcaps <cough> I mean DA rotors.

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.

BTW, here is a fantastic thread on drop bar MTB's.

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.

I like the grades a lot. Hope they update it to be on tire trend and fit a big 650b.

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

evolution of ti-gravel bikes...,

I guess im officially old. I never like the new stuff anymore. Much prefer the "old"
