Having a bit of a clearout so, having recently got rid of the Cannondale SM600 on here, I'll try a couple more bits.
First is a 1997 (?) GT LTS 2000. Not sure how to measure these but I think it's an 18". At 6'2" it's very slightly too small for me. Nice bike to ride and, whilst the build is unremarkable, it is a pretty reasonable spec. I have included a lot of photos to give you an idea of what's on it. Now, a fellow Retrobiker pointed out to me that these have a habit of cracking on the rear swingarm mounting bracket. Unfortunately this one has suffered this fate. I've ridden the bike like this for a couple of years without issue, and don't believe that it'll be a problem. I also believe that it could be welded but I haven't bothered to do this. The last photo in the series below shows the hairline crack.
I'm after £220 for this shipped within the UK. Collection from Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk is encouraged though and I will knock off £20 if so.
Next up is a set of Hope Wheels. Well used, rims have wear and would probably benefit from a change of bearings. These have the screw on cassette and the cassette is included. Rims are Campag Atek. I'm after £50 for these plus postage at cost, which I'd guess at being £10-15. I would prefer that someone picks them up so they can determine if they are happy with them condition wise before parting with any cash!
