GT Lightning

Re:

Decent high or decent low?

I thought it would fetch about that as the frame is the only thing worth anything and it’s a good size.

Re:

Decent low but yes your right the frame is the only decent part and you should hope the bb isn’t stuck in like mine is :roll:

Re:

The BB was very stuck on mine when I got it. Also the threads had gone on the crank arm so ended up cutting it off. The BB came out in the end but it was a battle

There is a Xizang for sale now as well, different seller though and a U.K. seller

Just looked and didn't see a xizang. There was one listed until recentish, but I got talking to the seller and he's a really nice guy, and luckily for me we made a deal on it.
Frame only though, he had whole bike listed originally.

I'm hoping to take possession of it in the New Year, need to finish paying for it first,looking forward to it. Without people like this, a person like myself could never afford to own a frame of this standard. There truly is some genuine and generous people in the field of retro bikes.

Which one did you get mate? Xizang or lightning.

As recently there has been a lightning advertised as a Xizang on eBay as a full bike. Easiest way to tell is the end cap is different.
