Very nice Amplifier built up. 🥰
I use a Risse Genesis oil/air damper on mine. This reduces the torsion of the rear triangle somewhat. In addition, the Risse Genesis damper has a better response than the original damper with the steel spring and the bike does not swing as much on the rear when...
Update:
Now with a 680 grams titanium rigid fork and Grafton Re-entry levers + shifter perches in purple.
I was searching for more than 2 years for a nice titanium rigid fork now and finally I found one 🥰
8.3 kilos at the moment. :cool:

Hi again ;)
Now I dare to show you my Ti bike. 🤣
Bought the frame in 1997 from a bike-shop here in Cologne. The frame was a slow seller. The shop had this frame hanging on the wall forever. I think the frame hung there for at least 3 or 4 years. It was originally supposed to cost 3700 marks...
No, I never had such big tires on it. My biggest tire has 2.35" (Klein Death Grip). Never had tubeless tires on any of my bikes. I'm only collecting retro stuff. I don't use modern equipment. I don't like that modern china stuff.
It rides awesome. One of the best bikes I'd ever ridden. Most of the time I ride it on forest paths, gravel paths, easy terrain or tours.
Tire width is 2.1". But the Conti Twister Supersonics look more like 1.9". On the Spinergys I had Hutchinson 1" slicks.
I like the GT Talera. Your Talera is in nice condition it seems. Nice colour also. I like it.
A GT Talera was my first MTB my parents gifted me for Christmas 1991. Still have the frame in my basement.
To be honest, these bikes are a bit spongy. The rear end isn't particularly torsion-resistant and also not laterally stiff. But in easy terrain it works well and is not noticeable. But I like the look of it. To hell with lateral stiffness 😁

Olli
The weight of the stem is 236grams on my scale.
But the clampsize is to large to fit 1 1/8 fork shafts. You need a shim for that also if you wanna put it onto an 1 1/8 inch shaft.
