ALSO LISTED IN PRE 1998 SECTION
1997 GT LTS DH Frame
1997 16" GT LTS DH Frame in generally good condition. I have only just got the bike myself, and really should have had a good look at it instead of listing it from memory as I did earlier!
The frame has a few cosmetic marks and scratches, but more importantly it is not dented or cracked (good luck trying to crack it!). Rear shock is a Rockshox Super Deluxe which works fine (rebound and compression still work), but as with all old shocks I would suggest that it is given a service as I don't know when it was last done - although it has been TF Tuned.
Some of the rear bearings will need replacing as one of the previous owners looks to have neglected the poor old thing a little bit. I would suggest that, to bring the frame to it's full potential, it would be well worth spending a little bit extra and treating it to a full bearing upgrade kit from BETD. I cannot even begin to tell you how good these kits are!
It is worth noting that I have not used this frame myself, as it was always my intention to keep a few bits from it, and sell the frame and other bits to help to fund my Zaskar LE build.
Ideal to build into a bit of a retro DH/Freeride machine - Remember that this frame was good enough for Steve Peat back in the day! It's also worth remembering that spares are still inexpensive and readily available for this frame from www.betd.co.uk
This is a bargain, even considering that a couple of the rear bearings need replacing. I will include a Hope headset (complete except for Crown Race) and a Hope 31.8 Seatclamp, as well as the bottom bracket currently fitted.
I can also include 1st Generation Hope Disc Brakes (with bracket to fit the frame) and a Hope Ti Wheelset if required. Obviously these will be extra but let me know if you want them!

Thanks
