Front or rear? I have a spare front other wise I'll ask him as he is building some wheels for me at the moment.

Too busy for photography at the moment. There are a couple of riding shots of the LTS 1 here.... http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=108948

If you go to the main carpark, off Belgrave Hallam Rd, you can go to the Trail Mix Cafe. There they have trail maps to guide you around. Surface is pretty groomed so don't expect anything too technical (although there is a rock garden section in the Commonwealth Games track which has some small...

After Googling it I agree, it has to be a 97 Beast frame.

Thanks. I'll post a shot of the new frame, which is still in it's original "Beast" paint at the moment, in a couple of days. I've been doing a fit up just to check things fit so it has the swing arm and a pair of forks on it so I'd be interested in the collective opinion.

Damn! After seeing that now I want a Mantra!

Yep, mid Oct. To the foot (literally) of Ysgyryd Fawr (The Skirrid).

Here's a few shots of some of the stable. 98 Giant MCM980 Some "in motion" shots of my LTS1 For those Melbournites, the riding shots were taken up at Blackwood. The shots were taken by Karl Pavey, who, I am led to believe is known by some of the UK riders here. I'll...

What length? I may have access to one (black - new). I have to check the diameter. And, where are you?

Coming along nicely BobCatMax. I have the same model and it is in the process of being put together now. Unfortunately I think it will be only a throw together to get it in one piece for the moment. I would like to fully convert the rear to roller bearings as my LTS 1 has but time, for the...

Hi guys. Just joined a few days ago. I'm in Belgrave, just by the entrance to Birdsland, which leads onto Lysterfield so the Commonwealth games track is just a hill away. I'm only here until mid Oct though as we are moving to Wales and I get to sample some of the riding there.

As I'm in the process of putting my 857 back together this thread drew me in. Wish I was on the list earlier as I could've put you on to Jessie from "The Speed Shop" on Johnson (Johnston ?) St, Fitzroy. He bought the remaining Proflex stock from the distributor when they stopped selling them...

Been there before so I sort of know what I'm in for........way late here, night night.

Both the GT's and the Proflex and getting pieced together at the moment as, with only a couple of months from moving country I have to get myself organised. Which, of course, means pulling my bikes to bits and rebuilding them in a slightly different order. :roll: Why the move? My wife wants...

Well, I suppose I could've kept the original carbon print seat and post on it today and worn the print off in the today's wet and muddy conditions here but, hey, I wanted to go for a ride and not ruin the unobtainium bits.

Wasn't able to put up a pic on my first post so here's a shot of the most recent arrival, the 980

My name is Richard and I have just realised that I have a retrobike addiction. So far the collection includes: '97 Proflex 857 GT LTS 1 (98 I think) GT LTS 2000 (year to be determined) '98 Giant MCM 980 '02 Interloc (IRD) Tempest 851 Hardtail (my daily rider) Currently in Melbourne...
