Juli Furtado's 1992 Worlds DH winning GT RTS-1

Elevated

Dirt Disciple
Scan from Velonews' "Superbikes" mag, 1993.

In case anyone doesn't know the story, Juli was a pro XC rider and only entered the DH for fun. Instead of riding a bike she's been dialling in all season she rode this RTS one which had been delivered to her 3 days beforehand. She'd rode the bike twice, I think, before doing her run at the worlds and getting Gold.

There's no trick experimental parks on the bike, it's pretty much identical to one you could buy in your LBS.
