So finances have dictated that this really should go now, despite me spending months putting it together.
The spec is:
Frame: GT LTS-DH
Rear shock: Rockshox Super Deluxe
Fork: Marzocchi Junior T 130mm
Headset: FSA Orbit
Stem: Shorty copy
Handlebar: Azonic
Grips: GT *
Barends: Hope bar plugs *
Brakes: Hope M4
Brake Levers: Hope
Shifters: Deore 9sp
Rear Derailleur: XTR
Derailleur Cables: Gore Ride-on sealed *
Cassette: SRAM 9sp
Chain: SRAM 9sp
Cranks: Race Face DH forged *
Chainrings: FSA
Chainring bolts: Race Face *
Chain guide: AC
Pedals: DMR V8s *
Hub Skewers: Hope
Rims: D521
Hubs: XT front / FUNN rear
Tyres: Tioga Factory DH 2.1 F&R *
Saddle: Titec Berserkr DH
Seatpost: System-ex *
Seatpost Binder: Hope *
Anything marked with an * was either brand new or NOS for this build. The bike's been taken out twice since I finished it.
I bought the frame a while ago and completely stripped it. Had it powder coated and the headset and BB faced, and new bearings fitted. Drew the decals myself and had Gil_M make them up for me. The frame is apparently a size small, although it seems all the LTSs come up big. This one is 15" from the centre of the BB to the middle of the top tube, and 19.5" from the centre of the BB to the top of the seat tube. Note that it includes a rear disc mount, unlike the earlier versions which need one of those clumsy adapters. As it's been used a couple of times, there are some light scuffs to the powder coating, and one of the top tube decals has worn away (but I will include another set with the sale).
The forks have a couple of light scratches to the stanchions, but they're high up so don't affect their use. I've measured 114mm of travel just bouncing them up and down on the road outside my house, and there's no sign of oil leaks.
The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noted a couple of things:
1) There's no bolt on the seatpost clamp. I have the nut, but the lightweight Hope bolt snapped - just needs a short M8 bolt to fix.
2) There's a bolt missing from the AC chain device. I have it in a drawer, I've just lost the nut off the back and not got around to finding a replacement yet.
I'm looking for £600 for this (PayPal gift or cash), plus whatever the courier turns out to be (pickup from near Loughborough / Nottingham / possibly Chester is also an option though).
Alternatively, I may consider splitting this if there's no serious interest in the full build after a week.
