Going to be nice. Maybe you do need to sell it, to buy a new chair!

Unsure about the red DX brakes, unless you put more red bits on it.

Is it a RTS-3? I would have thought so, as they (IIRC) were the only ones in that colour.

Its a '97 RTS, as far as i know, that was the only one produced in '97, as they were being faised out - http://www.mtb-kataloge.de/Bikekataloge/PDF/GT/1997.pdf

the chair is a bit knackered, but like an old pair of trainers, i still love it, might just drape some cloth over it.

They came with the forks, ill keep em, as they keep the stanchions clean

Lovely Matt, I'm impressed

Loving the GT grips.....if you ever want to get rid of them, shout me

RST forks look ok IMO. I know they arent top drawer, but I had them on my RTS for a long time and loved them! Never any problem at all.

How does she ride??
