Here's mine...

95 or 96 Karakoram. It came into the co-op without a seatpost. I swapped out the original straight bars for some no-name aluminum North Roads that were in the bin-o'-bars. Slid some bar-ends onto them for an into-the-wind position, since I live right on the coast, so there's always a quartering headwind. Eventually I swapped the B.17 and Carradice Lowsaddle Longflap from my '85 League Fuji, since the GT is my utility bike, and will get more miles for the near future. Also changed the pedals from the MKS quills from the parts box to Odyssey Grandstand V2s. A big win for my big feet.

Long-term plan is for a black Brooks Flyer, Carradice Camper Longflap, some gearing changes, and probably drop bars, but for now, me likey.

As first built, with mostly parts from my box-o'-bike-stuff:


Brooks & Carradice:


It rides really nice.
