Evening all,
Un-needed gift (turns out there is such a thing as too many knee warmers)
Size small
£30 posted
Payment via PayPal please 😁

What size is it?

Yes, as long as the DT hub you are using is ‘ratchet’ and the freehub you are installing is ‘ratchet’ then it’s all compatible. Make sure on install that you use the designated end cap though.

Yes, drill a hole at the end of each drop if using a bar end interface

So so so much want
So so so little space 😂

Both sold

That would be magic. I’ll send you a message

Looking for a 90s Flite saddle. The OG version.

Can be totally beat, or in perfect condition. Colourful or black. Let me know what you have please!!

Sorted all thanks !

Any of these still floating around?

Also took a few minutes to have a bash at reviving the alu finish on the GT. Used a red scotch pad to buff it - the difference is pretty huge! So when I have some time to kill I’ll get the bike stripped and do it properly.

The Orbea in all its 2004 glory 🧡

I’ve emailed Dr Aurora Forrester @ SRM to see if there are any old decal sets knocking about. Will try for a white/Orange/grey jobby.

The GT:
I must admit my knowledge isn’t huge on old MTB’s but I do know that Middleburn, XTR, Controltech is all very decent gear. From a quick bit of research I think this is a 1995 first gen LTS, the successor of GT’s first full sus RTS model. It has the titanium ‘rocker plates’ for the rear shock which pegs it as the top level LTS-1.
The bike will get a rebuild soon. On the agenda:

• new rings for the Middleburn
  
• Some tan walls, Rene Herse?(Suggestions welcome)
  
• New brake blocks
  
• New cockpit (suggestions welcome)
  
• flite saddle
  
• XTR rear mech and a decent 8s cassette
  
  

And a pic of my old boy ripping it in the 90s.

A fair few updates:
Orbea

• Sourced a set of correct wheels. (Mavic Ksyrium SSC in silver)
  
• Correct seatpost and stem (ITM Millenium)
  
• White handlebar tape, white Berk saddle
  
• Dura Ace 7800 SRM Powermeter 🤩
  I’ll upload some pics in the coming days.
  
  

Colnago

• A set of fast wheels installed (the shallow handbuilt wheels haven’t gone anywhere). Photo from the jetwash post Roubaix style Kent ride 😂
  
  

Vitus

• after a long search I sourced some OK-ish Dura Ace 7400 STI’s which I am waiting on delivery on from Netherlands.
  
  

GT????
Picked this up a day ago, from my LBS which I’ve spotted in the window getting dusty over a couple of months. Definitely do not need another bike - but it’s one my Dad used to race on back in the day, and I have super fond memories of him riding me to and from school on the handlebars!!! I intend on using it as a run around but will no doubt get very invested in getting the bike running smooth and period correct. Cue anodised parts from the 90s…

Quick Q regarding sizing - how tall are you? I’m unsure on MTB sizing !

Bargain!!!! Beautiful frame. What are you doing with the wheels 👀

Sold thanks everyone

Pending collection at lunchtime today, then have a few others lined up but I’ll update shortly 👍

Thanks. They seem to grab a lot of attention - the build is:
Chris King R45 ceramic
Sapim CX-Ray spokes
Brass rear nipples, alu front
Mavic Open Pro UST Carbon

Had a few Q’s regarding sizing and my height:

I am 183cm. The saddle height as set in the pictures I’ve posted is at 76cm. The stem length in photos, is 130mm, although I could have ridden a 120mm. Bar reach is 75mm.

I’ve attached a geo chart (54cm) for reference.
