Re:

Thanks very much, can't believe I let it sit in the shed for 5 years before actually doing anything with it

Re:

I think we’ve all done that before one way or another. At least you didn’t sell it

Re:

An SL aluminium one as my next project I think, if anyone sees one let me know please

Re:

Stunning bike mate, I had the 2002 or 2003 Ti version, rode it for about 12 years, loved it.
The Ti came with yellow tyres or tyres with a large amount of yellow on them, which I always thought looked good with the yellow of the decals. Forget what they were, maybe Panaracer? But they looked the bollocks.

Re:

I had some Panaracer Fire XC Pro in red but they didn't look right on it, prefer the black as sets the frame off nice. I'm after either an aluminium or titanium one as my next project now, selling the full suspension in order to fund it

wow! skinny steely frame and 130mm forks... it's looks great!

Is there actually anything left of the GT ?

Specialized nailed it with that frame.
