GT - Tempest 1999

So this is the first "proper" bike I ever bought, aged 15 from the proceeds of my weekend job working in a hotel kitchen, about £300 at the time I think, and fully rigid. The frame's the only original part left now.

I've used it on and off for various things since then and have always liked the feel of it so decided a year or so ago to do it up with some decent kit, tried to keep the colours green/white/black as much as possible, the whole lot weighs in at just over 12Kg
