2000 GT Tour 2

Here is a 2000 GT Tour-2 that I restored. It used to be black but I decided to paint it white since I have not ever seen a white Tour in this frame style. I only had the 1999 Tour-2 decals so I used them instead of the 2000 Tour-2 decals. The black paint was in realy bad shape when I got it and the stock decals were also missing. Since I was bringing the bike back to life again, white seemed to be a fitting color to symbolize the rebirth of the bike. I had fun building the bike and it looks like a bike that GT may have made if they didnt go bankrupt in 2001. There are alot of stock Tours on the museum and I thought that a custom one would be a nice addition.
