Retro Disk Converstion

Here's some pics from a disk brake conversion on a old GT I've done recently for Chris. The frame would likely be '89-'93 vintage. It has a 1 1/8" threaded steerer with retro front entry frame ends which seem to work well with the disk. It also gives him the option of 1 or 9 speed set ups. Very cool.

Before I started


No need for rim brakes any longer


I was asked to retain one eyelet for use with a childs seat


Drive side cleaned up to match brake side


Tab added with addition of a brake bridge
