    I had one of these for umpteen years, (2002/3 model) with SIDs and then P2 forks when the SIDs seized. Absolutely amazing bike, and bombproof too.

    Retro frame + new components.. yes or no?

    Absolutely. All my bikes have been upgraded as parts wear out, a la Triggers Broom. Nothing wrong with keeping a favourite frame rolli g with whatevers in tne parts bin or cheap off ebay. Better that than someone hold you ransom over some rare defunct crankset or stem or whatever, bikes are made...

    Does 2010 count as retro?

    Well, consider the bike in the photo: 26" wheels 9 speed triple, threaded bb, handlebars of a decent width, tyres and tubes, on paper not so much different from a bike from , say, 2003, but like you I would fi nd it hard to call my GT a retro bike, I think mainly because it rides so nicely. Be...

    Does 2010 count as retro?

    I have a 2010 GT Force , very impressed with the ride, only problem is it was listed as a L on ebay but turned out to be a M in real life. Anyone want to swap for a L? I wouldnt mi d selling it either, I fancy an early 2000s Scalpel with the carbon chainstays or a Rush.

    Rebuilt 2002 Rock Lobster 853

    Re: Stunning bike mate, I had the 2002 or 2003 Ti version, rode it for about 12 years, loved it. The Ti came with yellow tyres or tyres with a large amount of yellow on them, which I always thought looked good with the yellow of the decals. Forget what they were, maybe Panaracer? But they...
