Afternoon all,
Wasn’t after another project as I am already halfway through my new winter/daily rider but this came up local and for £30 I couldn’t ignore it.
More than anything the Exage LT group set brought back fond memories of my first proper mountain bike - gt tequesta with the same groupset.
From the pics in the advert it looked in half decent condition too.
Really happy with it, all original apart from tyres, grips and I’m not sure about the saddle as the only info I can find are the same bikes but with Exage 400lx, which I believe are the year before this bike.
Really good paintwork that will come up nice after a t cut and polish, Reynolds 531 frame which doesn’t feel overly heavy.
Just plan to give it a good service and clean, possibly change the handlebars as they are victim of worm rust under the paint.
