GT STS BIN now dropped to £295.25

[Gadro]

GT STS, dropped by nearly £200 since first listed, now it's £295.25 BIN. Need a bit or work get rid of the yellow and red crap and make it all nice black and polished aluminium again
Sell the crap on it and you could end up with a half decent frame, Big though!! Ends 9:16pm tonight might be worth messaging the seller with an offer as they are struggling to sell it

I will never understand people who can't just take 20 minutes and clean the damn bike! He spent all that time taking pics and listing it. Just a little time with a brush and a hose and it would have sold for his original price. When I sold mine it was just the frame and I got $600 for it. It was beat up but clean.

Oh yeah I've seen this one.
This is the one with the headset that doesn't sit flush.

Just for a comparison for people unsure exactly what version she is:

I have to say that I am tempted at that price but she certainly looks well used! Not sure I would like a real DH-oriented bike but if I had the space to have one for every day of the week then......

Is this a big issue for anyone thinking about buying?

If the headset does not seat properly you will be going through bearings and cups pretty often and you may pit or damage your steerer tube and it could damage the frame. If the headset is uneven it could mean the headtube is damaged already.

Cool, my rusty memory had it's suspicions but I needed a refresher after 16/17 years
