Learning To Fly
Caution, vintage mountain bike build in progress. Using my 84 Stumpjumper Sport as a parts donor for the 83 Ross frame. Why ?!?!?

I’m going to try to get him through this summer on it. Probably will put it up for sale next spring.

WTF??? Whoever left it should be put in the stocks for a week! It’s durn hard to find a large enough ATB frame for me. I’m happy with my ‘84, but I’d gladly take another! They make such good all-rounders.

Yeah it’s crazy how fast they grow up. My oldest is 22 and I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. Gotta love every minute of it!

Yeah, pretty crazy money for the pair. One thing that occurred to me while looking over the photos is that if there's one positive about the chainstay mounted u-brakes it's that you can't put a kickstand there!

I have a very soft spot for GTs since I grew up in San Diego and the closest bike shop was a GT dealer and they carried tons and tons of bmx stuff. Very trick bikes! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome. 3 piece cranks...are those 'MX' brakes? Brings back memories. I never had a GT, but still had a lot of fun on my Schwinn bmx.

Here's a 1983 Bianchi Grizzly I bought a couple of weeks ago. I still need to address small amount of rust and tune/lube it. And level the rack haha.

That will turn out really nice, SD Hawk. Myself I'd ditch the Pletscher style rack -- it looks a little out of place on a MTB - and see if I could locate a nice used Blackburn mountain rack or something similar.
