1993 GT RTS 1

that's it yes

That looks like the drawing indeed. I have an RTS with the rocker, so I'm not sure how well this will work.

It’ll never be ridden. It does function and feels ok I guess. But it’s still a terrible design.

 

[mk one]

I guess it was the only solution as a fixed cable stop wouldn't fit, until someone suggested using a cam that is.

Would a Suntour Power Hanger be period correct? Appreciate it wouldn't be factory though.

It’s more the look and originality I’m after so it’ll do as it is.

I can see why the 94 RTS had so many differences

It wouldn't be a GT if it didn't have funky rear cable routing!

Those triple triangle frames caused problems until V-brakes came along with integral noodle... but they do look great with a U-brake and cross-over straddle cable!

I like originality and like the funky roller set-up. Tyre clearance looks tight, unless it's exaggerated by the camera angle?

 

[d8mok]

I think it’s just the angle of the pic. There’s loads of room for the reissue tyre.

I like the appearance and quirky roller as it’s a bit different. If it wasn’t a 93 I don’t think I’d like to the bike as much with all its “faults”

I had a RTS3 in 95 so it’s kind of where my GT journey started.

Triple triangle and silly cable routing - 94 psyclone is the weirdest one I’ve done. Groove tube combined with the most exposed/longest rear mech cable I’ve seen.

 

[lukewheels]

Building just the same to a similar spec. Agree on the cable routing; getting rid of "faults" isn't my bag either.

So close to being finished

Cranks may be swapped for a non polished pair yet. Depending on how the next pair turn out.
