Hey, just thought I would share a few pics of my 99 GT Lobo restoration. It look me over a year to complete and its turned out awesome.It was THE bike I always wanted to own but could not afford one back in 99. I tried to build it as near to spec as I could

Here is the frame as I bought it.

P.S. I'm a graphic artist, so if you need help with stickers, if you cannot find what you want, send me a message.

You can see samples of what I've designed for my Zaskar on my PINKBIKE Page.
