1995 GT RTS-2

[Double-E F]

New project (thanks, ishaw !), ready for a complete makeover:

Not sure of the year of manufacture and whether it is in fact an RTS-2, or RTS-3 (yet).
Yes: those used to be yellow Corratec Diamant slick tyres

Re:

Stripped to 'bare' aluminum

The initial plan is to throw some parts on it to get it rideable to see if this full susser is a keeper.
If so, I might consider to sit down, remove some stickers and polish, although I actually like the 'patina'

The Tioga Alchemy headset is still running smooth, as is the BB.

Re: GT RTS

would look soo much better without all the stickers I can see the potential

Re:

Loads of potential

Can anyone tell me what year this beast was manufactured? S/n doesn't say much (to me)..

While reading this thread: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=109282 I extracted the following points of attention that might point towards type of RTS and year of manufacture:

s/n: 5(?) C(G?) 024811 -the first bit is partially covered by a thick weld ..
Rear triangle pivot: present
Shock: Noleen w/ piggyback
Material decal: 7000 series

So, would that make it a 1995 GT RTS-2.. :roll: ?

Looks fantastic. I too think it would be better without all those stickers....

Yup !
There are even decals (other than the original Mavic ones) on the gold rims.., that match the gold of the Mag21's perfectly, BTW
