1991 GT Karakoram - Lancashire

[The Ken]

Looks like an 18" ctc which comes out as pretty large frame. Both my Gt's are 18" and I'm 6ft 2".

:shock: I'm 5.7 and ride an 18" GT, nice to know they are adaptable

Well it is hard to copy a name off the bike or even off your picture of the bike:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300690173458? ... 1423.l2649

Inferno red, though not the original forks, and XT mechs and Girvin stem.

Inferno red!
It looks more like an explosion in a pizza shop ! No wonder its still £30

Is this just plain tubing? and I was wondering what the weight would be like?

Oh no I keep looking at it. I think it needs a home, it looks lonely.

My GT's are 20" c-c, and I'm about 6 ft 2" too. Wouldn't want the top tubes to be any shorter, although there isn't that much standover..

curious to see what this goes for, as I'm thinking about either stripping or selling mine.

Hi,
I am only 5'8" but 32" inside leg!
My Lava dome is spot on at 19" CTT or 16" CTC
Altough I normally ride retro 531 steel road bikes at 22" CTT and have a couple of 23" CTT. I time trialled as a teenager on a 22" CTT with 22" crossbar, which has always been my best size

Still trying to get my head around these retro MTB sizes.

Dean.

I'll wager real money on that seatpost being stuck.

My two pen'arth. I'm a 6ft lump and I have both 20" & 18" GTs. I find 20s great on the road or on trails. 18s are great for serious off roading (more control) and jumping.

well it wasn't me that bought it for £47 as my B#@@*Y internet connection crashed again five minutes before the end time.

Someone bought a bargain. It was worth buying for the parts.

Since my provider changed to Talk Talk it has been absolutely RUBBISH.

Any way I also have my eye set on something a little more up market and old skool, and shiney!! Well, a frame and forks to be precise.
