I have for sale my 1993 GT RTS 2; 18"
Brief build / refurbishment thread here:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=347488
As explained there this was to be "my" RTS having always wanted one. I planned to strip, paint or polish and rebuild with tarty bits. Then a very decent RTS 1 frame and alloy back end popped up that I couldn't pass up so that will now be "my" RTS. This one therefore needs to be sold but I couldn't just slap it together from the partial strip I had done and chuck it on ebay.
It's not original as it has been modded along the 23 years it's been around. It's far from mint but it all works nicely, it's all clean, no cracks, dents etc just the patina of age.
I've repainted the rear triangle (back to metal) as that was the worst part. Judy's have had a minor service, rear hub rebuilt as it was in a bad way (it's still pretty grumbly but does spin and has no play). New headset and new BB as the original headset was in a bad way and the BB was damaged when I had to cut the old chainset off thanks to stripped extractor threads. New bearings in the rocker.
Originally it would have been M560 LX equipped with various bits of GT OEM finishing kit and a Rock Shox Quadra 10 fork. Bits of that is still there but it's also had a few upgrades and swaps along the way, mostly by previous owners but a couple by me as a needs must exercise.
With all that in mind then it has had a total strip and rebuild so everything is greased, adjusted correctly, and nothing is seized!
Ready then for someone to enjoy as a rider or as a base for further improvement.
As I was going to do a more in depth job I got some replacement decals from Gil and I also had the paint matched by the local supplier and made up as a can. Those are all included in the sale.

I'm in Warrington. Collection is best for me (particularly with my iffy back). Happy to entertain a courier (have boxes to pack it) if buyer arranges and we can agree timings. I do travel about a bit, most often down to Berkshire so would consider delivery if convenient to me.
Price £300 o.n.o.
