GT's old stuff just has the charisma that the new stuff never can match.

just needs the funky brown patterned seat to go with it , i had one the same i picked up off ebay in mint condition but sold it due to not being able to get used to the pink and not wanting to molest a nearly unmarked one by painting it.simon.young wrote:Couldn't pass this up locally in Hobart. Thanks for the tipoff LG.
Reflex ALX 99 - Anodized Easton 6061 E9 main triangle, Ishiwata EX? cromo stays and forks bonded to steel lugs internally brazed and lugged.
Pretty much to spec M730 except tyres, and that seat. But the seatpost is split near the clamp, so I havent bothered yet. Cleaned up ok. Well used, but everything still spins well, and after playing around with seized STI, I love the thumbies!
Downtube cable routing, with anodized logo under downtube. Chainstay U-brake, with roller for rear der cable. Pretty cool . This is what sold it for me. Oh and the pink / blue combo

A Xizang. So sweetMoeJoe wrote:While we are on the subject of retro GT's. Here are my three members from the class of 99, 92 and 93.
Behold Zanger the Xizang, Avalanche with the dry ice paint schema and Justin Timberline in forest green with added green <drum roll please>
I silently moan the dullness of modern paintjobs.

Agreed on the dullness of modern paint. GT in the early 90's were the dogs bollocks.

That's a classic. A beautiful and flawed classic with a place in early MTB history. The price is whatever you're willing to pay. I doubt it will ever become a museum piece, or even a brilliant ride, but it's rare enough to be interesting and in this forum I think everyone would rather ride interesting.QuangVuong wrote:Is it ime for me to enter the MTB scene? ...
Is the $350 worth it? Comes with the original XT FD.

I dont mind paying $350 for it, but I need to be sure that the frame will last, but of course I will pay the least amount for it. I dont want it breaking on the first ride. Anyone here near Newham, Victoria wanna help out?And there were definite reliability problems - a Bath shop sold about six of the MTBs in 1992. All of them came back with broken frames.
