No worries. It's typical though, I put you onto it as I didn't have a job. Today I got my old job back, albeit under new owners :roll:

Hope it's as good as it looked in the pics matey. Enjoy it and when you get bored and want to sell it, remember me :D
 
I will keep you in mind Xizang but I think this ones going to be a keeper :D

It's people like you that make this Forum so great.

Couple of pics of the STS from the seller. Hopefully I'll have it by Monday or Tuesday. This is the one I've been wanting and I plan to throw some cash on sourcing some bits and bobs in getting it looking like new again. The Bravado might have to go :cry:

Apologies for the quality of the pics

Might be a long shot but anyone got a 16" or 18" GT STS or even better a LOBO. Frames and full bikes

If so post or PM me a pic and a price

Hi Gadro,

I might just have what you are looking for. In-fact I think its more than you could have hoped for!

I have a GT Lobo DH which is in near perfect condition. I also have a brand new rear pivots rebuild kit (£130). Not only that but I also have a brand new Fox Deluxe pull shock (£250). Not that the pivots or shock on the bike need replacing. I found them on a wedsite in America several months ago so took the opportunity to get them as they are rarer than rocking horse sh#t.
The bike was a window display center piece in a bike shop for a couple of years. It had never been ridden other than outside the front of the shop by the shop owner. I also used to drool over it every time I visited the shop until one day I could afford it so I managed to get it for £4200. A couple of weeks later we had the Foot and Mouth outbreak, so that was that for that year. By the time we could get bake out there I just didn't have the spare time I used to so only got out about half a dozen times that year. Then I had an operation on my spine so no more DH for me :( . That was 3 and a half years ago now and the bike has been dry stored in a heated garage ever since. I just couldn't bring myself to sell it, I just stand and stare at it every time I see it. It really is a piece of art. I just can't look at it enough!

Anyway, the time has come for me to give someone else the opportunity to own such a rare and iconic bike.

I haven't any picture at the moment but will get some taken this week and post them.

Are those L&M cranks on the STS? They used to be made down the road from me at Long & Marshall engineering (also made RC car bits I think). Might be worth checking the webs on the back of the arms for cracks, they eventually changed to a channel on the back of the arm.

Not seen a set in a while
