'99 Specialized FSR Ground Control

[banksy]

Bought this bike today and while i havnt had a chance to take it on any trails or anything yet it feels absolutely class, cant believe they made this bike all those years ago and its still riding brilliantly. I was very suprised by how light this is aswell, anyways here are some pictures, it has been powdercoated white and i got sick of the stickers on it so took them straight off

And along with my road bike and hardtail

What do you guys think?

 

[coomber]

I like it (apart from the sofa saddle!)

 

[swos]

Nice bike how much did you pay for it?

I sooooooo very nearly painted mine white when it was stripped down.

Cheers for the comments guys to reply to yous:

The sofa saddle will be gone after i finish my xmas shopping although it is extremely comfy

I paid quite alot for it i think but the condition is fantastic and it rides superbly good tyres etc too- was £150

Yeh ive had a look at yours briefly and it looks sweet like

yeh you should have done mate, i love the colour of it and ive never seen one in white so thought it stood out too


Next thing to do is order some specialized decals for it! and possibly some new grips

£150 is cheap for a full bike imo

once the decals arrive i'll take a pic of them on the bike so you can see what they look like

as for grips superstar components do some good lock on ones cheap
