http://cgi.ebay.com/Rock-Shox-Super-Del ... RCH:US:101 Wow! Regards, Mark.

Thanks for the responses everybody. I'm not really interested in how much travel I can obtain, it's more about keeping the current "balance". If anything, I think it could drop a small margin and still handle OK. And I should have thought of just measuring the axle to crown distance. Thanks...

Hope someone can help here. I have a '97 GT LTS DH, with the red, dual crown Rock Shox Judy forks (DHO I think). If one were to replace these forks (they are ready to be retired), with a single crown fork, what sort of travel would I be looking at? I'm guessing 120mm, but seek confirmation /...

Xizang, I really appreciate your response. I need to be sure I am ordering the correct parts though. By looking through the sites that you provided, the Big Cheese from AirBomb seems to be the one that I require - is that correct? The other look like "converters" if that makes sense - I have no...

All, forgive me for bothering you here, but some of you have been very helpful in the past. I have posted on other boards, but with no success. What I am after is a "thing" that allows you to install V-brakes on a disc only frame. I am only talking of the rear brakes here of course. I saw...

I thought the bike was a Rascal? Regards, Mark.

Ashes - looks magnificent (thanks for the message). I was reading about the Murra Bindi trail just last week - looks great.

OK, maybe they're not "aspirational" (nice term that), but they do seem to go for "solid" prices on eBay. There is something about them, which I can't quite pick. Regards, Mark.

http://www.sheldonbrown.com/k7.html - scroll right to the end. Sheldon has all the answers, I recently converted my 7 speed LTS to 9 speed with no problems (after purchasing the appropriate Shimano freehub). Regards, Mark.

To the previous poster - I vaguely recall that ad but can't remember who or what is was for. Sorry. To Ashes - IIRC I paid $425 for the bike. Well used, but no damage. It still had the original crankset (I believe), but with only two chainrings on it, although the owner was running it as 1x7...

No, good luck to you. I put in a bid, but then hoped that I didn't win as I decided I didn't like the "chroming" on the joins. But I was "mad" for an old GT and my judgement was clouded. A couple of weeks later, a '97 LTS DH popped up on eBay in Melbourne (where I am) and I was successful...

ashes_mtb, did you purchase your GT frame from someone in Sydney a few months ago? If so, I was an underbidder on that one. Regards, Mark.

I have done a little bit more research - I came up with the following theory: '96 - post has the double curve. Large GT lettering is black with yellow edging. '97 - post has the single curve. Large GT lettering is yellow with black edging. However, the LTS DH in the '97 catalogue looks...

Sorry, I should explain why I'm confused. We seem to have agreed that it was a '97, but the last post "same as mine" is a '96. Sorry for taking up so much time. Regards, MArk.

Please forgive me, I'm still not clear on whether this is a '96 or '97. Help, confused. Regards, Mark.

To all on the board, I've asked a couple of questions before regarding the old GT models. I had actually purchased a carbon STS frame, but the deal fell through (I did get my money back - phew!). I have now purchased this LTS which, by scouring the catalogues, I believe is a '97 LTS DH. The...

Thanks for all the helpful responses. I don't actually have the frame in my possesion just yet. Once I do, I have no doubt I'll be back here looking for assistance. These old GTs have a pretty dedicated following - I'm looking to be part of it. Regards, Mark.

Now that I know it is an STS, I worked through the airfreetires sites and came up with this (in black carbon): GT STS-1000 DS, 1998. Sound right? Thanks, Mark.

Thanks for the prompt responses so far. I have been reading these forums for a while now, and the retro bikes that really inspire me are the GTs with the curvy seat post (as this one is). What are my issues with trying to rebuild this? I have gathered from reading posts that the bushings on...

Long time lurker, first time poster. I have really appreciated the information available and shared on this board. Can someone assist with identifying this bike please? It looks like an LTS, but I'm not an expert on these matters. Regards, Mark.
