Re: Building an Old GT Karakoram… I might be crazy

#126636

So my BB came in yesterday and I was able to get a lot done last night. BB, Crank, Pedals, cleaned and re-installed derailleurs, cleaned and re-installed shifters and levers, decided to give the WTB grips a shot. Also ran the Jagwire shift cables. Last thing I need is wheels and tires, along with the Jagwire brake kit. Both should arrive next week. I’m so close I can almost taste it! Eventually I might swap out the shifters as well for something a bit newer but I am going to stick with what I have from the original bike now.
