Catch'Up & Mustard

[Pop.Cycle]

Came up on this 1985 GT 24" cruiser on a deal with my brother.

More if a rebuild than anything, I disassembled to the bolts, degreased, hand washed and polished,

and reassembly. Added some hardware and accessories, some new, some left over and she came out almost like new.

I love this bike. Some may know having grown up in Southern Cal, I am a huge GT fan! This one is my dream bike from Junior High, just a bit bigger.


I am definately keeping this one.

The build was simple: tear down, polish, sticker and reassemble. Used an abundance of Phil Wood grease and Tri-flow lube, may staples. Chrome was immaculate and didn't need anything but a degreaser scrub and a wash. Didn't even have to use anything abrasive, the only rash on it was the forks, and the repop sticker kit covered it completely! All the other issues I saw were gone after the scrubbing. I swear that Zep degreaser is the best thing I have used to date. (I have to thank my fiancee for finding it)
