1992? Gt rts information

[Cmdenby97]

Some guy came in to the shop I work at and dropped off an old gt rts. I was wondering if the rear triangle is original or a warranty replacement of sorts.

Also wondering about recommendations for rebuilding the rear shock.

I'd guess the rear end is original, I have a 93 team with an alloy rear end. I would hazard a guess that the rear end pictured has been resprayed, blue decals to match. It's also got the canti rocker which is often removed and lost.

Shock rebuild wise it's a challenge in the UK. It's nitrogen charged and old, though i don't think it's a complicated shock with proprietary parts.

A while ago now I did find that this place did rebuilds, if they still do I couldn't say

There may be other places in the UK
Noleen still exist and will service but shipping and taxes kill that idea off really.

Here's a link to a mod that adds an air valve to replace the nitrogen.

If you find anywhere that does service the noleen, do share. I'd be interested to know.

From the number, the frame was USA made in June 1993.

It would be second version which was 94 MY.

93 had the steel rear , brake roller , and different cable routing.
