Hodge podge GT LTS DH

The ad and the the other reply both show a legitimate 95/96 lts dh frame. These were sold as frames only. To differentiate between the newer lts1000/2000ds curved seat post models and the downhill there are several items. Number 1, the 1000/2000ds has an additional stub for a front derailleur where the dh does not. Next, If you look carefully at the chainstay you will notice that the dh stay is straight where the regular model has a cnc dropout that droops down from behind the bb. Finally look at where the titanium shock bracket is located on the seat tube. On the dh it is behind the tube and on the regular model it is in front of the tube. Why? because the dh frame is longer than the regular model. Take a look at the distance between the rear wheel and the bb on the bikes in the other posters photo. you can see a several inch difference between the two. The posted picture is a great example of the two 96 lts versions. Notice that the dh has a single giant chain ring and no front derailleur. They often sported a chain tensioner too.
One last note: the lts 1000/2000ds models use the trunnion mount shock and it would not fit the titanium shock bracket of the 96 as the bushings are different sizes and have different mount configurations..
