1991 GT Xizang LE Titanium NOS

[Iverider]

Believe it or not, I've been thinking about building it for a long time. When I got the urge in the first place, I was still able to buy period correct NOS parts. I've got everything to build it pretty much like the 1991 Team bike and I started getting the parts down from the attic this weekend. I took some pictures tonight and I'll try to post them below. I hope you like them.

I'm 77, so I won't be riding it. I've had three Zaskars over the years and I've got three other Zaskar frames up in the attic. I'm really enjoying messing around with bikes again. I'll be trying to do my best on the Xizang. It really deserves a better mechanic than me, but I'll take my time. I'll take some pictures along the way.

Best regards,

Kit

At least you don't have to worry about scratching the paint! I look forward to seeing more of this one.

Great choice of parts! The tires and bar ends especially bring back memories.

I've had a little time on it. I installed the NOS M730 bottom bracket, the NOS U-II brake, the NOS Deore XT headset, set up the rear end, did the NOS Farmer Johns and a few other small things. this is a very pleasant project!
