New Project! 96 GT LTS2

[GTZaskarLE94]

Hi All

So i picked up this one under the title "KORE GT MT BIKE" on gumtree here in Oz

Nice Kore stem and Bars and whilst frame has almost never been cleaned, it looks in reasonable shape.. I'm toying with period XTR M950 or perhaps something else could be more exciting??

I've attached some pics as I got it this evening, however better ones will be posted tomorrow!

Let me know if you guys have any suggestions as to build? Going to try and leave stem and bars, however after new wheel set and group!
