1994 GT RTS TECH SHOP XTR complete with made up backstory!

[34henry3w]

hey Guys,

Here is my new 1994 GT RTS. Here is a story I made up for it...

It was a left over tech shop frame. A guy build it up in 1995 pretty as you see it, and then never really used it. All I had to do was give it a light polish, and change the pedals and seatpost so I could ride it. It is missing the 910 XTR rear indicator but other that that its pretty much perfect!

Re:

Blimey, that's huge.

Lovely spec. Similar on the route I'm going down, but frame size wise, completely the other end of the range

You've done a great job with it.

cheers
Chris

Looks to be in fantastic shape!

6'7" :shock: I guess us shorties had to subsidise the metal in your frames when we were buying our 15" and 16" ones
