This was originally a "Ferrari Red" bike with the yellow/white GT decals (see last photo). I had the frame blasted down to the metal and did a DIY rattlecan paint job with metal GT head badge and custom "GT Karakoram" lettering. And I decided to pay homage to the earlier GTs by painting the stem to match! I just need a few minor parts to finish it off.
