1999 GT STS XCR-1000

Just picked this up, done less than 500 miles since new. Totally original apart from the platform pedals.


I'll let the pics do the talking



















Bike just needs a polish and a once over with Autosol. The XTR groupset is unbelievable. I won't say how much it cost yet but for a setup like this it was peanuts. Seller was desperate to sell as his car just failed it's MOT and he needed the cash in a hurry. I feel a little bit guilty BUT he did say that he was simply not using it and was glad it was going to a good home. The only thing wrong with this bike is a bit of 'peel' on the rear shock decal.

I'll post some better pics when I get it cleaned up, looks amazing stood along side my Lobo

Jammy git! Thats a minter :shock:

Wanna sell me the forks?

NNNNNNNNNIIIICCCCCCEEEEE Love it mate, great catch

LOVE THIS! I have been lusting after one of these since I had to "settle" for the XCR 2000 back in 99. V. Jealous - let me know if you ever want to sell.

Out with one, in with another!

out of interest what does a bike of that condition sell for ? i remember them being a good few grand when new £4000 ?

is that bottle cage bosses on the shock?!!! :shock:

I remember when Bonthrone was discounting them new for under £2k

I improvised myself bike merchant and found a buyer in France before I bought the bike myself from the shop, cashing in a nice little margin in the process - was still a good deal for him - he came especially by Eurostar to London to pick it up!

I rode the bike from the station back to home, about a mile

This is making me want to buy my friends one rather than sell it for him... must resist!

Nice one Gadro. Pics look lovely. Liking the wheelset.
