Hi there, I'm building a new steel hardtail, which is going to be the last bike I buy for a long time (thanks to the mortgage!!), and was wondering if there is anything I can do to try and prevent it rusting in the long term? Cheers Ashes

1998 GT STS 1000 DS Rock Shox Coupe Deluxe shock (bought NOS a few months ago) Asking 120GBP. Shipping to UK is 40GBP. Also comes with a blown Fox Air Vanilla Shock, a working Fox Float RL shock from a Jekyl that can be fitted with a little mod to the trunnion mount, and 2 NOS sets of...

Haven't seen these come up all that often. I've had a set for years and they make such a difference to the old Rock Shox Judy's. http://cgi.ebay.com/ENGLUND-AIR-CARTRID ... dZViewItem

Hi there, Had a decent off on the weekend and have folded the front wheel on my GT. Wasn't doing a jump or drop, just heading downhill fast through a rocky and rutted section. May need a knee reconstruction and have a cracked hip so plenty of time to start thinking of new components...

Hi there, Bought this STS on ebay about 3 months ago and finally finished the build last weekend. It'll be my main bike so decided to go with a full new build rather than retro (hope it doesn't offend) also thought it would be interesting to see how it compares to my mates new fs bikes...

Hi there, I know there has been a lot of debate about what makes something retro, and I don't want this to be a debate about definitions. I was thinking though, it would be nice to acknowledge the milestones bikes on here achieve by doing an annual BOTM or BOTM's for when they reach...

My apologies in advance - I'm a bit dejected about my current project and I'm venting.... Bought a GT STS DS frame a few months ago. Always wanted one and jumped at the chance when one came up on the bay. So far the dramas have been:- - Advertised as shock not holding air. In actual...

I recall someone looking for some Xizang decals before, well here is a good set. I've bought from this seller before, they're NOS sticker sets, great quality obviously, and he's very quick to ship. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/MTB-GT-XIZANG-de ... dZViewItem

Hi there, The last few polls that have gone up, including BOTM, have not let me vote. It shoes up with the results like I've already voted or the poll has closed, but neither has been the case. Any ideas to fix? Cheers Ashes

Hi there, I'm the process of building up a GT STS DS, buying parts mainly though ebay. Recently bought a FSA Gamma crankset (modern I know..) and the drive side crank arm is 170mm and the non-drive crank arm 175mm. The lengths are stated on the crank arms and I've double checked with a...

Hi there, Just getting started out in a build up of a GT STS 1000DS frame I bought on ebay a month or so ago and need to know what diameter seatpost they take if anyone knows? Thanks Ashes

http://cgi.ebay.com/New-26-ATB-Suspensi ... dZViewItem I remember wanting a pair of these around 95 when I was just getting into mountain biking.

Hi there, Have a carbon and aluminium frame thats in desperate need of a polish. I've read a thread where someone mentioned a friend polished a carbon frame with bike polish and destroyed it. Want to know what (if any) options there are for polishing carbon fibre? Also, I've read...

Hi there, I have just acquired a nice GT STS DS frameset and need a new shock to go with it (Fox Vanilla Air R that came with it is blown). Does anyone know if the trunssion mount Rock Shox Deluxe shocks that came with the LTS would work? Any other suggestions? Cheers Ashes

Hi, I'm just looking for large steel frame for a commuter bike build up. Don't want anything too exotic - just after affordable and reasonable quality. Needs to take 1 1/8 steerer and have standard BB shell. I'm 6'3" so need a largish frame - 20" plus. Cheers Brett

Hi, My bike is nearing its 11th birthday and the forks (97 Judy C's) are in need of some attention. I've replaced the internals with Total Air cartridges (work great) and the sliders are in great condition - unfortunately the bushings have had it. My local shops (Western Australia) get all...
