My Mom’s neighbor rebuilds donated bikes which most of the time they are big box store bikes, but Saturday he showed me a 90’s aluminum GT ( pantera model )that got my attention. Thing needs help but has parts that I figure could sell or fix it up to sell whole…size to large for me but at $10.oo for the bike how could you say no. But knowing that Mix and Neo have talk about fork rebuild and know vintage forks I had to post this to ask….are they worth anything …rebuild,sell as is…Remember I only have ten bucks put into this thing. STX cranks,canti brakes,and derailleurs, kore stem, lower end Mavic rims plus the frame which is very lite as well the handlebars and seatpost. But the forks is what I hope you guys can tell me about because I am having problems finding the model on line to see what I have.Are they junk or worth something?

Well, I did it! But the spring that I used was a little bit short, so I had to put some aluminum spacers and an elastomer in the bottom. I packed the other leg with elastomers and still have 4 pieces left for future maintenence. I took my bike for a short spin and it handles pretty well, hopefully it’s gonna stay the same for the long run.- September 7, 2013 at 3:59 pm
Great, enjoy your effort with a good long ride now!!!- September 7, 2013 at 9:48 pm
Right on Zoltan! Way to get after it, you hits some snags, but you got creative and made it happen… that fork will perform fine for quite some time… thanks to your efforts! Great job! You doing what it takes to keep your Cuda rollin’ and that solidifies you as a Cudahead for sure!Clean it up and let’s see some photos, maybe ever a trail shot or two, and how about one of yo with your Cuda.
Peace,
