Here is what I ended up with…

It’s a 2010 GT Gutterball. I swapped some parts out on it, most notably the rear hub. I swapped it for the Charge shaker hub and a 17t cog. Interesting style hub for sure.

For the price, this bike has a lot going for it.

This is a warning for the kind of shit that happens when you take a bike of the road and don’t provide it with the undivided attention that it deserves… the little shit jumps out of the rafters where it is lying in wait (has been stored) and bites you with four of it’s big ass 1/8th Campagnolo teeth! I tell ya, the sound of chainring VS skull is hell scary. It took a good 20 minutes for this to stop bleeding, my Japanese flatmate running around yelling “Ah, fuck, fuck, fuck…”   I reckon this one beats that chainring tattoo of yours Mardti.
