PSA - Auction watch missed this one

Not mine, so can't vouch for it. If it;s pants don't blame me.
Spotted this and thought it should have a good home, be nice if it went to someone who would appreciate it. Considered buying it and selling it for parts on here, had a quick look and it's not worth that much so thought I would just point it to you guys.

[EDIT] Maybe should have gone in the for sale bit of the forum. Not sure how to move it though. Mods, care to help a newbie?

what forks are they?

No idea! Not my bike. Just thought the frame looked a familiar shape. Don't think he knows quite what he's selling...

It's a GT RTS-2 from 1994 or 1995. That is a Rond WP downhill fork from that era (must be 1995). Bart Brentjens won Olympic gold on his Rond fork in Atlanta in 1996 and later the company who was producing pretty decent stuff was bought by Magura. All the suspension know-how that Magura has pretty much came from Rond. Gerard Rond was a dutch motocrosser and WP stands for White Power, who are standard equipment on KTM's since a long time.

The handlebar on the bike is an Answer Alumilite, brakes are Deore LX M-600, GripShift SRT's (probably 600s) and it also has an LX crankset. It can serve as a base for a nice build!

Good luck!
