My little (GT STS) collection...

Re: My little collection...

Yes, but.. No !

My dreambike always was a GT thermoplastic, and today I have the chance to have 3 of them !

...and maybe a fourth soon (Caspar ?)..

But after this, no more bike, or my wife will go away ! :facepalm:

Yes, same here, but she does not see the difference,
she thinks i have a black and a shiny

Did you know, there is a thermoplast version of the RTS? One more reason for extending your (really nice) collection

Yes I know that, but :
- I don't like it, because there are no visible alloy insert into frame
- It's only a prototype, so it's just impossible to find


I prefer an other prototype bike, which is my holly graal, but no more chance to find it too : Mantis Screaming V (thermoplastic from Cytec, like GT) :

I can sell my parents to have it !

Not bad. Especially the rear end.

But the GTs are much more to my taste.

I, too like the cnc carved aluminium bits in contrast with the black thermoplastic. Thats why I prefer the older LTS/STS (or your Lobo) to those who had the steerer wraped in thermoplastic (like your street-STS 1500DS).

The better is to have all of these !

...but I keep on searching an early LTS thermo size 18" (or bigger, but it seems that it has only existed in 16" and 18"..)

no, 18.5"! and I'm seeing your cry 2 months late.
that was the moment I build the 16 years dusty brand new, exactly the one you want, 18.5" frame, out of my seller, for my bike-partner to make him a bit slower in climbing ,
but now he is suddenly as fast as me in dessending :? :facepalm:

 

[Mofofo]

So, he now want to change it ?
First on it if it for sale !
;-)

Re:

I understand you right and clear,

My guess;
one time he'll get scared or something and will buy a e-bike for him and his wife
then you will know and jump high

 

[Mofofo]

Thx !

Re:

The STS looks like a Sci-Fi movie design. One of the coolest bikes ive seen.
