1996 GT LTS Team

[Angyalpor]

I blind-bought a frame, the seller said, 6061 alu anodized blue from 1996, with a Fox Vanilla.
The frame number is: 001963371 LTS 19

Within days I will get the frame, can anybody tell me, that is an LTS-1 from 1996? Of course, I will take pictures from it.
How it should equipped? Maybe a 739 XT set?
Anyone from here got a bike, like this?

Thanks!

Should be the LTS team which was sold frame only.
Its the same blue as the LTS-2 but but made from 6061-T6 and with the titanium linkage.
Also made in USA

Got one of those in 16inch

Awwwww, I've got it!
Sorry about the picture's quality, but I can't wait to post it...
It has got a really small ding on the top tube, and a crack on the rear triangle...
With a Fox Vanilla X.

So, this is a GT 19" LTS Team from 1996?
Any advices, what to do with it? How to rebuild?

So, I will rebulid this bike.
Looks like an original LST Team, from 1996. It has got a small dent on the top tube, and the chainstray doesn't looks good, maybe broken, so I need to change it.
All the LTS's got the same chainstray? I think, better to change then try to repair it...
Thanks

Nice frame. Too bad, its damaged.
Did you get the derailleur hanger with the frame?

(I'd be interested to buy it if you ever decide to. Just drop me a pm)

 

[Angyalpor]

Hi!

Yep, I've got the hanger too. It's the same, as on my Zaskar, and I've got a few spare...
I plan to replace the chainstray, now I'm searching for it...

Re:

I bought this one (New NOS) for my 1995 LTS team, but it is too wide at the rear end. If you upload some pics with a measuring tape showing your dimensions I can check if it is the right one for you.
