    GT Tempest

    1999 in Team Colour. The 98 GT race team Zaskars/Xizangs were that colour but for some reason the 99 'Team' models of those were just plain white. The Tempest and Outpost Trail both came in this colour in 99 (I have both !).

    Help - GT experts - 199X Talera

    From the decals it looks like a 1994 in Pearl Teal but that's a solid colour while this looks like a slight pattern. Maybe just the paint deteriorating over time. It has a Groovetube and mostly Altus components. Of the pix above the blue with white specs & Talera on the downtube is a 91 in Blue...

    1998 GT Backwoods frame confusion

    98 Backwoods was definitely 7005. The Avalanche and Terramoto/Pantera were 6061 that year and the only 6061 triple-triangle frames with curved endcaps that year. There is a vague possibility it's one of those that was somehow decalled as a Backwoods but I'd think that unlikely as there would be...

    Stupid Question from a veteran RBer who should know better..

    Thanks guys I'm thinking it's too much of a faff to fit modern Mavic road wheels to 20 + year old MTBs (I now ALL RETRO !). Might have to flog em.

    Stupid Question from a veteran RBer who should know better..

    What do you hate seeing on a gorgeous retro bike?

    I thought it was a nice runaround, load of XT on it. Very nice. If I was a bit more 'whoo, a bit whee, a GEEZER' I'd be thinking 'I can get round that lock and have that lot on my Zaskar in no time' :-)

    Re: A S**T lock !! Spotted this recently... lovely Klein which won't remain their pride & joy much longer with that lock. I had one of these Tescos £4 D-locks. Someone glued it (with a view to nicking later). I got it apart with a £3 B&Q crowbar and one hit :oops: :oops:
