So here it is... My nuisance GT LTS...

Shock blown, pivots so dead they wobble (or missing altogether), BB jammed in, shredded graphics, and a dull grey alu frame was how it was found... So, Ive polished it (badly!), sourced new decals, used lots of leverage to swap out the BB. Chainstay pivots en route from USA (maybe...) and possibly a shock on the horizon :cool: :cool: I will prob fit BETD replacements for the other pivots if I get on with it.

So decided to get it up and looking bike like today...
Still need brakes (on the case), cables, pedals. And I know, I will saw the seatpost off soon.

BB stamped with an 'M'.

Bits to fit...

Thats more like it !!! :cool:

What is the length & degree of the stem? Thats what I want for mine :D

Looking good !!
 
Its a 100 mm azonic stem, not sure of the rise.
A proper old one tho... Got it NOS a while back for my RTS but didnt suit...
Bars are azonic too...

M739 running gear (except shifter - bombproof stx 8 sp)

Glad you like it!
 
Its been on about 4 bikes, done 000's of miles through rain snow and occasionally sun, and still works perfectly and looks good as new...
 
Well here it is -

The rear shock that was siezed now moves, but is blown and has no damping... Like a pogo stick...

Bushes are shot so it rattles about... The chainstay ones are new but the rest are dead...

Feels quite nice tho, v short and small but maybe workable ;)

Need to find a chain guide tho, the chain keeps dropping off!

Looking good!! :cool:

Hopefully the boing will be sorted soon enough!! ;)
 
The downhill is ready for boing action :twisted:

The other one is a none starter until the bushes are sorted :roll: its shiney though :LOL: :LOL: .
 
The bushes on this are soooo fcuk'd its untrue... Gotta wait a bit to get some BETD or similar replacements...

What do you think of the decals - Im not sure what year these are - I think the frame is a 97...
