The thread a couple below this is a 1991 GT Karakorum which has got better parts on it and the guy got for £70 on ebay.

You can check what components were stock on it by looking at bikepedia. imho it's a bit expensive for the age of the bike / kit on it and you should be able to pick up something better if you look around. I don't know, but just feel maybe £50-£60 is more appropriate for that type of bike of...

Doing this to my 97 Apex at the moment and getting a pair of 1997 Pace RC36's serviced

Haven't done much with it yet other than clean it up, take the wheels and currently sitting upside down on my floor having very minor bits of chipped paint repaired. I sourced a set of Pace RC36 forks from 97 or 98 off here and am planning to send them off next week or so to Fork English for a...

That's really nice. I love the way the front end looks with that stem and the forks. Really industrial.

Have pm'ed you about these. Cheers

Also has to be 1 1/8

http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=121786 For this bike. Have been looking into the suggestions made and have plumped for Bombers of that rough era as the best bet. Ideally something ready to go or requiring minimal work / repair. Cheers

1997 it was back to TT-Lite. I've got one so can be pretty definitive about that.

There was a GT Tequesta with mixed XT/LX kit on for £50 a few weeks back. T'was my size so quite fancied it apart from the fact I have no need whatsoever and nowhere to keep it.

Just to give you an idea of what's out there, I picked up a late 1990s (I think) Claud Butler steel framed mtb for £10 on gumtree. Had to spend a bit doing it up (new gear shifters, cables, semi-slick tyres etc). It's an unspectacular, but perfectly functional, solid bike that has been fine...

Have got a Claud Butler Virago in blue which looks to be exactly the same year / frame as your one above. Got it for £10 off of Gumtree, sold the tyres for £10 so basically a free bike. I fixed up the easy things, put on road tyres, get it serviced, got new gears fitted, but it's serving me...

I had a metallic olive green 1996 Topanga which I sold to my brother about 10 years back. It was a lovely colour / finish.

There's another thread on here where a guy did a similar thing to what you'r proposing with a Diamondback Ascent that he found in a scrap merchants.

Thanks for all this guys. Definitely the TT-Lite tubing - there's a big sticker on the frame saying so. There's definitely some minor differences between the one I've got and the one on Bikepedia. LX hubs Selle Italia Expedia saddle Something called a "System Components" bar No bar ends...

Hi, I wonder if anyone would be able to help me out with this. I've recently recovered my old Diamondback Apex from my parents' garage after about a four year hiatus. There was some stuff I wondered if anyone knew. 1) What year's model is this? I remember buying it in October 1997 and...
