Retro Newbie
First and foremost I have a gt lts 3000 ds. I have been DH/all-mountain riding. I'm not sure how far I can push this bike, the front fork is a marzocchi z3 bomber and the rockshox deluxe is still in the rear. The suspension is very cushy and comfortable. I have been riding single track trails in az at around 15-22 mph hitting and jumping rocks and tree stumps. So far I am very pleased with my purchase of 200$, but I was wondering how far you guys push these retro bikes. My largest jump so far is 4 feet up over 6 feet wide. Also, what can I do to prevent my lower back from getting sore? I ride with my seat a little bit higher than my handlebars. So my real question is should I be putting money in the bike upgrading the suspension and new handlebars/diskette even though its 15 years old?
