Spotted last week on Gumtree, chap's asking £790 for it, I'd buy it if I wasn't already over-committed and trying to cut back (still bloody tempted by it tbh)! What say you Retrobike, a good buy for someone?

Here's the info he emailed me re. spec:

GT STS
Carbon Fibre LTS. Worlds first full suspension carbon fibre bike. Bought new £3200, has spent its life in warm spare room. Hardly ridden. None the less it has just been completely stripped & rebuilt replacing anything worn. Very light & as rare as can be. A1, perfect, showroom condition. Can deliver. The photo is of the actual bike taken by me in my studio (I am a photographer) - It really is in perfect condition. Complete spare rear frame triangle, spare bushes, spare rear shock, spare rear suspension linkages.

I think with all the spars and new bits it is quite a bargain mike.....look at the taty one postd up on here with cruddy rockshox judies that the guy wanted 1500 for :lol:
 
Yes but on the other hand Scott. Look at the STS that was on here not so long ago. Or ages. Frame fork and chainrings. Only went for about £120 on eBay in the end.
