Old faithful; replace it, or renew components?

Nice job, it looks fresh!, what was the price to have the hoses shortened?

You made the right choice. These older GTs are going to be the collectors items of the future....

Fitted shimano 180mm disc and caliper spacer to front wheel slight improvement on 160mm disc but less than I expected. Also it has the annoying habit of making noises after heavy braking but not always heavy braking...the noise dissapears after 50 yds or so. Everything seems lined up fine, the wheel spins silently without any pad rub so I'm a bit perplexed about that one-it didnt happen when the 160mm disc was fitted.

Any ideas folks? Bedding in?

try this, slacken the 2 caliper mount allen bolts, pull on the brake and keep it pulled on as you re-tighten those 2 bolts

Gatters Tip seems to have worked the second time I tried it
Cheers!

So pleased you went for the refurb. You could have spent twice your budget on a new ride and still not have the quality you now have. Well done, great job all round.
