FS: TVM GT LTS 69er Mullet

Need to clear some space in my workshop so looking to sell this on.

It started as a 90s LTS 5000 and I've rebuilt the front end to be more in line with modern geometry and to take a modern fork. Seat tube angle is 79deg, headtube is about 63deg. Also widened the rear end to allow it to take a wider tyre. It's designed to run a 160mm travel 29" fork and front wheel and a 26” rear wheel with a 2.4” tyre.

There's a 44mm headtube so can run tapered fork with the included Hope external lower cup or straight 1 1/8" if you fitted an internal lower cup.

Bb shell is 73mm, it takes a 27.2mm post and there's cable routing/porting for a stealth dropper.

IS disc tab has been added and original rim brake mounts removed. Rear travel is somewhere around 3".

Size as follows:
420mm chainstays
19"/485mm seattube to top
24"/610mm top tube
100mm headtube 128mm overall stack with the headset fitted.

There's some chips in the paint from when I was using it and from storing it but nothing too bad. There's a zinc rich primer and rust inhibiting oil internally so corrosion shouldn't be an issue.

Offering here at £250 posted within the uk for frame, shock, seat clamp and headset. For full transparency, I’ve tried it on my Instagram at £300 and haven’t had any bites, the post is still on my feed but given the nature of Instagram it won’t really be seen by anyone new now.

Thomson post or a Brand X 27.2 stealth dropper post avallable at extra cost.

I’ve never weighed it but can do so.

I’m heading out to work soon and don’t want to disturb Mrs m_v who is still sleeping so would do it when I get back home early afternoon if that’s ok.
