trusty steel frame started it’s life in Columbia Missouri. As it sits pictured above the spring over oil Manitou Answer SX (80mm?) shock has blown it’s seals (Nasser). The seat is bent. The handlebars are very narrow, and the stem is 4 inches long. All of these factors make for bike that feels very bizarre to go from the modern full suspension 27.5 that I normally ride. Also, this bike is small, maybe a medium. So, the decision was made to update this old rig. </p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="http://dangerbees.com/index.php/2018/10/09/old-bike-new-tricks/gt-after/"><img data-attachment-id="453" data-permalink="http://dangerbees.com/index.php/2018/10/09/old-bike-new-tricks/gt-after/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/dangerbees.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/gt-after.jpg?fit=2048%2C1367" data-orig-size="2048,1367" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"2.8","credit":"","camera":"NIKON D600","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"14","iso":"1600","shutter_speed":"0.033333333333333","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="gt after" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/dangerbees.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/gt-after.jpg?fit=300%2C200" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/dangerbees.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/gt-after.jpg?fit=656%2C438" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="656" height="438" src="https://i0.wp.com/dangerbees.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/gt-after.jpg?resize=656%2C438" alt="" class="wp-image-453" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/dangerbees.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/gt-after.jpg?w=2048 2048w, https://i0.wp.com/dangerbees.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/gt-after.jpg?resize=300%2C200 300w, https://i0.wp.com/dangerbees.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/gt-after.jpg?resize=768%2C513 768w, https://i0.wp.com/dangerbees.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/gt-after.jpg?resize=1024%2C684 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/dangerbees.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/gt-after.jpg?resize=1200%2C801 1200w, https://i0.wp.com/dangerbees.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/gt-after.jpg?w=1312 1312w, https://i0.wp.com/dangerbees.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/gt-after.jpg?w=1968 1968w" sizes="(max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><figcaption>After shot</figcaption></figure> <p>GT timberline now features a 2005-ish Rock Shox Duke Air fork (100mm), 700mm carbon handlebars, Raceface Chester pedals, WTB Volt saddle and a short stem.
