I did a little touch up work on the TT amtrac decals on both sides as they had some minor scratches and then I sealed them with HD Clear 3M Packing tape. If anybody ever comes across a replacement set of the TT decals I'll buy them. I will likely build a second Amtrac in the future.

Quite a collection of Gt's and Auburns yourself.

Robinson79. Your bikes look great and the pictures are awesome. However, I've been kicking myself for ditching the Pro Series Team now.

I could give you a URL link right now to pick another one up!!
I'd wait until you're ready to invest $$$$ into the build so you can do it right. As I recall you took on 4 builds at once initially when you caught the bug, I'd love to see some pics of those rides you've told me about!
I want a pair of the GT Elite II pedals that I skimped on initially but will eventually get. I'll be replacing all of these pics once I pay off these builds and score some of those hot and rare pedals. The shark bites ride so damn good. At 30 bucks a pair NOS shipped they are hard to beat. The elites are strictly for my ego as far as I'm concerned.

We'll see what happens first....
The release of the 2012 skyway T/A XL 20" or...
a reasonably priced pair of GT Elite II's.

I do want to wait until I can free up some money and space for a build like that. I realize that throwing it together is just not how to do it and thats why I got rid of the other one. Right now I'm finishing up my PK Ripper which just needs cranks/chain. I'm holding out for the right pair though. I also just picked up my first bike that I had when I was 7 years old so look for the update in my profile soon. this thing is pretty cool 80's memorbilia.

I will have a Robbie or GT team bike though I just don't know when.

What a BEAST! Sweet bike, must ride like a dream.

skdevore · 2012-03-20 2:45pm

It looks like my Robinson morphed with my son's Robinson to create this masterpiece! Oh, dig the red chain....LOL.

robinson79 · 2012-09-27 6:28am

I just picked up a set of White Tuff II's and some White Robi Pads. I'm going to get her polished up and lower the seatpost and get some new pics up in the next week or so. Stay tuned.

Wow amtrac did a nice job w/ it! Quite cool!! fun ride I bet!!! yahoo, killer, sweet..

robinson79 · 2013-04-23 6:50am

My power series pedals (polished), Wheelset (NOS Mistrals,GT Superlace, NOS spokes w/ red nipples), and pitbull brake came in. It's gonna be SWEET!

robinson79 · 2013-05-06 7:12am

Re- submission coming soon with all new pics. The show was great! Mad props to Matt and Scott for making it happen!
