GT LTS Thermoplastic´96 + LEFTY Fork Project

That is an awesome looking combination.

Inherently there are no unusual forces acting on the frame, if there were it would ride strangely and that misses the point.

Looks great, I'm a big fan of Leftys.

Pardon me for being thick, is it a special hub on the front wheel?

 

[mechagouki]

Not being thick - yes, the hub with press-fitted bearings bolts onto a tapered axle that projects from the bottom of the leg - it's actually a very elegant design. Can be a bit frustrating when removing front wheel for transport - comapred to a regular QR anyway. Shimano actually produce an XTR hub to fit now - so there's obviously plenty people using them.

Cheers for the reply, always wondered how it worked

Silver ano front was not compatible with dual crown, the later black ano cnc front part was compatible/beefed up for dual crown.

Fantastic combination!

What is the name of the saddle that you have fitted?
