GT RTS-2

[mithba]

Hey guys, I have seen that some of you here are GT lovers so was after some advice.

Today I picked up a GT RTS-2 for a $100, It is running Shimano Deore LX allround, except for the Rear Mech (cheap shimano) and the rear brake (cheap V-brake).


As you can see the paint work is pretty bad.


Cantilever front brake


Tektro V-Brake at rear


Deore LX Front Mech


Unknown Rear Mech (worth getting a deore lx rear mech?)


Shimano Hyperdrive-C (needs replacing)


Deore LX Thumbshifters (anyone know anything about the brake levers?)


So anyway, was wondering if anyone knows much about the bike? No idea how old it is. If it is worth keeping and fixing up or selling for parts.


Any info would be awesome.

Cheers

Mitch

Also, fork looks unoriginal, anyone know what should have come with it? or how I can find out?

Looks like a 1994 model.

Brake levers are first generation STX Levers.

Cant tell from the photos but look like the Mag 10 it came with....

I stand corrected......Quadra 10 (painted black) are the forks...

I am actually pretty surprised the suspension is in pretty good shape. Cosmetically horrible, but mechanically pretty good.
