20" cromo GT talera from 1996 in metallic red/satin fission, sell or consider swapping for an 18" mtb of similar worth from early to mid '90s.
Bought as a fixer upper and done quite a bit of the work but gave up investing anymore time and money into the project when I came to the realization the frame is just too big for me. Bike has been in storage for about 2 years now.
I think the cassette freehub in the original wheel is either going to need servicing or replacing as it jumps when forcing down on pedals, could potentially be warn chainrings having now gained experience of these since.
It's had a new shifter for the rear, new cassette and chain and new bottom bracket, along with cables, swapped stem out for shorter one but still have the original.
Frame is in great condition with no crash damage or other dents, also had a generous amount of waxoyl inside frame to protect it for years to come as it's steel
Components are Altus/Alivio/Acera, it's got it's original saddle, grips and tyres, think those might be Tiogo Psychos, writing has faded a bit on those.
I wouldn't be parting with it if it was in my size as I love the '90s colours and graphics.
As you' ll be aware it's a lower end GT model but still a good bike non the less.
Definitely suited to a tall rider.
£45 or swap with someone who's in the opposite predicament.
That's the only pic I have of it at the moment as it's in storage in a relative's shed. 20" sticker is visible on seat tube, 20" measured CtC and would be around 22" to very top of seat tube, so yeah taller rider.
Discussion or recommendations welcome.
Collect from Birmingham or Worcester
Thanks
