This week’s #refurbfriday is a mid-late ’90s GT Tempest, transformed from a rigid mountain bike into a comfortable, everyday commuter.

Built around an L–XL frame, we kept the original groupset while swapping the knobby tires for ThickSlick tires to create a faster, smoother ride on pavement. Upright sweeper bars add a more relaxed riding position, and matching cable housing ties the whole build together with a clean, custom finish. A vintage mountain bike with a modern city mindset - ready for commutes, errands, and weekend rides alike. #vintagemtb #commuterbike #atlbikelife #atlnonprofit
