Re: 1987 GT pro freestyle tour TEAM MODEL, project
i built it, has anyone ever had a problem with rear frame stands lining up right? the lil half round front part does not line up right with the angle of the tubung and it does not sit down on top of the tube, there is a gap there. i slid the stander forward and backward on the dropout and check all possible positions and neither side stander sits down on the tubing right.

If I owe you feedback.. please don't hesitate to tell me
It's fun to see the same clapped out 20$ part posted at the same price, for the 30th time. At what point will you just give it to someone who might use it?

Oh that's bad... must be a bent frame. I'll take it off your hands! ![]()
Seriously though, I bet GT didn't build them this perfect. Awesome job! Now, go out and get some war scars on that beauty!

yeah its crazy how that stuff can differ in pics. the last few pics is more how it looks in person, they meet the quality of the other parts considering they are grips and seat the two toughest parts to get MINT and era correct.
