Spotted these for cheap.

Thanks for the link but I already have curved ones. Think I will just wait a bit till I find Pace RC31 or somerhing like that.

Same as @TomvanHalen ?

If it's the same geo as my Kili Comp, they have a particularly low a-c for their age, 390 or so. Worth bearing in mind. The OG segmented forks are nice if you can find them.

Thanks for the information on fork length!

I have a nice 8 speed XT that would look great on it.

Hey guys,
I thought you retro MTB types might be interested in the ‘DISC BRAKES ARE DEAD’ stickers I’m making.
There’s a thread here.
I’m plugging it as there will be a little forum donation with each order.

Love this and the Rock Lobster below. So Good!

That's my pseudo retro MTB. Most of the parts aren't that old, but the frame is from 1994 (since repainted).

I guess this belongs here really ... early 90s Cinelli Argentovivo. The frame was built by Gary Fisher under contract for Cinelli, from Columbus Cyber tubing. It's very light and the welds are exquisite.

Currently in street form ...

I know its pretty anti, but this is cool

Love those DX pedals, they look better than the Saint flats imo

Yeah, they're fairly bomb-proof, completely rebuildable and look really good. I prefer them too!

Sorry for crossposting. Picked up this one this evening. Will give it a good clean and take some better pics when ready. Seems like it hasn't been used since it came out of the shop back in 1992.

Sweet. That stem is shockingly aggressive for a retro MTB

Yes, indeed. It was GT's trademark. They called it a Flip flop stem, kind of ahead avant la lettre.

Awesome. Love my 1991 version of this - bought frame only and without crazy matching stem sadly, so went 1x11.

Always wanted a GT... great bikes and the early colour ways were amazing
