Retro GT Timberline MTB - More Upgrades

Its upgrade time again on my retro GT Timberline MTB! GT Hadley hubs, Surly forks, clutch derailleur and a more modern 1x10 drivetrain. It took a long old time sourcing all the parts and I can't be more stoked with how it turned out! Let me know what you think I should upgrade next on it

Those hubs are a match made in heaven, looking so freaking cool!

My gt has the same Colour. Would do anything (allmost 😂) to get a set of hubs like that. Lovely build ❤️ mine has been converted to 1x10 36t and 11-36. Also using dropbars now. Flatbar the first 20 years i owned it. Also as a 3x7… before the conversion. Bought it at a market for 200 danish kroner = 30 dollars at that time. It served my family well. The kids are grown up now, but they have both commuted to School On it. So it has a special place In my heart.

Your videos are soo chill, really liked this build. And video is pure enjoyment. best way to relax for me

yow yow.. I find this build therapeutic.. keep 'em videos coming..

I was taught to put all the spoke into the hub all at once paying attention to the valve hole vs spoke hole pattern. It may seem complicated at first, but you never have to bend spokes when lacing. If you have a 3× lacing, just count 6 spokes inclusive when inserting into the rim. Nice upgrade BTW :)

Nice build! It was lovely napping away to your video twice, very chill music! Genuinely love that!

Love it! I’ve got a Kona Cinder Cone originally bought for my teen son, sat in my garage. I’m now thinking it could be built into a perfect commuter bike.

Hubs are 🔥! Fork would be looking nicer with tapered legs toward dropouts, though. Enjoy new incarnation of your bike!

Riding a bike is nice but ripping it is FUEGO🔥

That's a beautiful build dude, fantastic job! I got a lot of love for vintage / retro mtb and atb, built up an '85 Raleigh Maverick to a similar in style to this. ❤

Love this build! I'm rocking a good old red Timberline with a Surley fork and 10 speed Deore too. But I'm extremely jealous on your new hubs!

[RoldanRR]

What a clean build. I want something similar, but I only have a 1x9 to work with.

[atitagain]

Watched the first video and I was like, man so much missed potential here. You got me. I'm subbed and building alongside.

[addvurtbikes]

This video gave me the opposite of existential dread. Those hubs are niiice

[tempviewr]

Cool vid! I am also building up a retro GT, 1996 Zaskar 6061 frame. Wheelset going on it is a set of Mavic 217 in gold ano, with those same red GT hubs!

[michaelwilson]
