Here are some pictures of my new GT. I've started adding blue bits, after I found that the bottle cage bosses only came with rubber plugs that fell out.

Further upgrades are planned for the seatpost, stem and handlebars which are all currently stock GT items. Has anyone any suggestions? I'd ideally like to keep the same manufacturer for all three and also keep the handlebar the same low-rise. Also, undecided as to whether to go for more blue, or keep to the black?

Thanks for looking,

nice bike but then i am biased i ride a gt sensor with the stealth look too, although ive blinged it up a bit with a few red bits.
