Im liking the cranks with gold spider and the judys.

Passiflora - you're right, they do match the cranks well - hadn't noticed that

Plus, you've saved me some cash!

Liking the blue and yellow. How'd you get that bar to fit with that stem? I've cranked out a ti stem before to make it work, or maybe you had enough room to slide it right on?

Wasn't to bad... just had to ease the bar through very slightly. As I remember, I just opened the Stem up a bit with a large flat blade screw driver placed in the slot... Didn't take much.

Cool, I was always weary to do that with an aluminum stem.

As long as your careful, we're only talking fractions here. Stem was also a bargain - £5 posted off eBay

Been out riding it in todays glorious weather - what a machine, can't believe I didn't get one BITD

Excellent... I had a 1997 LTS1... The only bike I wish I hadnt sold, such a sweet ride, awesome.

Be nice once its wearing matching cantis

I miss my LTS, it was the red ano one with the same titanium rear linkage as yours.

I agree that it is one of the best full suspension bikes out there. It was just so comfortable, a real all day bike that you cant point at anything; up, down, across, through.

The canti's are going - it doesn't stop. Might be something to do with the V Levers


Glad you folks agree about the ride... not much experience of full sussers -but this just feels right.

I ran V's on mine, stopped absolutely fine.

Canti's look better though, especially given the frame and forks have the mounts for them.
