GT LTS-DH

[Kevhl]

I saw your post on FB about this, I had one way back in 1997... ex NWMTB team frame from the 96 season. Great bike!
Whilst they're not the best working forks a set of DHO's would look amazing, if you're keeping with old school forks but want them to work then some Z1's. I think I'd go Z1 duals or MR T's so I could have the sharpness of a 20mm axle. Anything oldschool like that and you can run XTR Vs all round, on a newer fork you'd be running a front disk (which would have to be a hope!)
My bike ran Original Judy DH, XTR hubs on 121 ceramics, XTR V's (originally XTs), Syncros stem, post and a mix of other bits. Really needed bigger/more capable forks up front, a friend ran the later frame with original bombers and they were great!
I also had a 1997 frame in around 2001, built with some big triple clamps... but that was overkill!
Good luck with the build!

What is the serial number on this?


I did ride mine as a trail bike for a while....it was okay, but a tough beast to handle.


I wish I left it as a DH bike, but I had broke my RTS and did not have a choice. I posted mine on facebook in your thread

Re:

This is the serial number. I think it means it was made in December 96 but I don't know for sure. If anyone could shed some light on it

Re:

Not sure if it would be from december as they would have been producing the 97 LTS DH with the s bend type seat tube by then.
Been meaning to shoot gm1230126 a pm about the serial no on the Boomerang's as I have 002960374 M which should be medium frame number 374 made in 96 but the first 3 numbers can't be a date as you would only use 0's if you had the entire date (05/08/96)
The guy I bought mine off was the original owner and purchased the bike new in 95 which could also mean the 96 is not the year it was made but the year model.
