Morning guys this is a sad day for me having only bought this lobo from Toolmaker on this very forum at the back end of last year.
The reason for sale is its simply too small for me, i knew it probably would be before i bought it but having lusted after a Lobo since the late 90's i figured i could make it work! Alas i can't and so here it is back up for sale for someone to cherish.
I had considered just keeping it hung on the garage wall because i think as mountain bike go it is as close to a piece of art as your ever going to get, bearing in mind that this was designed in the 90's, this is beared out by people stopping for a quick chat on the couple of occasions i have taken it out. It still draws comments and people still want to have a quick spin on it.
I am truly gutted to have to sell it but i can't justify having such a great bike hanging in my garage doing nothing
The spec is pretty much bang on what GT built it as with a few aftermarket parts like the saddle,chain device, change of tyres and DMR pedals.
It started life as an STS Lobo however as with anything plastic that GT tried to make it cracked and the local GT dealer t the time managed to source this aluminum front end which is believed to be a Team front triangle. This happened whilst it was owned by 'Revol' on this forum so feel free to pm him for anymore info.
I have cleaned it several times and removed all the stickers and buffed it with Auto Sol to bring back its original lustre. Also have a bag of spares for the Boxxers.
