93 GT RTS Team/1 frame, 16" SOLD

[jimihendrix]

Had this frame for a while, bought it to replace my Zaskar as a main rider but has sat on the shelf, i've now fallen out of love with it, now needing money for bits for my Rover V8 engine build.

Frame was sold to me as an RTS Team but main triangle is date stamped 06/93, been informed the Team was released later than this so it's pedigree is uncertain.

What i am certain of is the frame is very nice indeed, sized 16" (CTC), condition is great, all bushes are tight, shock is sound, last custodian did a fine job repolishing and re stickering, only flaws are a couple of tiny dings on the left side of the top tube (hard to photo)

Frame will come with a new seatpost (Kalloy), seat collar (not GT), spare seatstays with rocker posts (but no rocker), a few other bits and bobs i'll dig out.

Asking £160 posted to the UK

I would say that is a Team my friend. The 1 in 93 still had steel stays, I bought the first Team my local dealer had in May 93 for £1299 just for the frame. Its a Bargain

The rear end is missing the canti mount/rocker assembly (looks to have been very neatly removed I have to say), and the rear shock looks to have had a modification done to allow air rather than hydrogen (I think). I read a thread on here about it a while back and was considering doing it myself.

Lovely looking frame, If I didn't have two already and this was my size........

Good luck with the sale

Yes, as mentioned in the add frame comes with spare rear stays with the canti rocker mounts on (but no rocker), also comes with brake posts, removed them as i intended a disc brake build.

Forgot to mention the shocker mod, yes it has an air valve so is easier to service/adjust in the future, the last owner got the shock rebuilt and the mod done, fitted a new push rod rose joint too just before sale so its all Minty Mint SpearMint PeperMint

Sorry S.W, K.T, no swaps or P/X, already have a big D/H frame gathering dust :facepalm:

The rear ends are interchangeable across all frame sizes, so that is no guarantee of provenance. AFAIK, other than the flat rear cap which denotes USA made there are no distingiuishing features to tell between the 7005 - 6061 frames.

Lovely polish job on that one and such lovely bikes to ride, comfy but without the bob and wasted energy of so many full sussers.
