Purple Anodised RTS

[stejamhas]

Has anyone got any pics of the purple anodised RTS frame sold around 1995? I had one and now have a RTS frame ready for build and thinking of getting it anodised if it look ok.

I think it was a frame only sale model

It was frame only from the shop with the piggy back rear shock and steel rear end(black), i seam to remember that it may of been a old stock item from GT, I raced for local bike shop at the time and got it for a really good deal

If it had a steel back end it was a 93 as the went to aluminum rear ends in 94.

I have an RTS3 from about 92ish. Looks exactly like the picture mattbrown provided the link to. Painted finish, not anodised. I would expect only the top of tree frames would be anodised due to cost?
