To buy or not to buy?

[Black_puma]

I am very tempted to get this '97 Karakoram as it is a nice bike, it is the right size for me, nice colour and I don't have a Karakoram (yet).
However, I would need to go and see it in person which I can do quite easily as it is local to me.
There is at least one thing that puts me off a little bit which is the chainset and pedals combo, otherwise reasonable for the price they're asking.
However, I do have a spare Shimano Deore LX chainset I could fit.

The question is, do I want it that much?
Do I need it? I already have 5 GT's
Can you ever have enough?
I have been waiting for the price to come down for quite some time as I don't think it was worth what they were asking initially.
Decisions, decisions....

I will go and have look today to see if it is really worth it for me. I won't decide until I have seen it in person.

No. they have way too many other nice bikes. You'll end up leaving with more than one.

You can never have enough Karakorams, let alone GTs

They do have two other GT's too, but I can only ride one at a time! The other two being too close what I own already and more than what my current budget allows!
The other two GT's are both 1999 models and one of which I already have. (Orange Tequesta)
