isitafox Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 In my opinion yes, it's a later model with rear disc mount and you can buy custom linkages to increase the travel without destroying the geometry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted November 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Yeah good points. Might go look at it tomorrow. Is there anything that would make this a deal breaker? How wrecked would it have to be to pass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I'm not convinced but it depends what you want it for. As a mountain bike I'd say steer clear. V-brakes, WTB velociraptor tyres (those came on my GT in 1998), old school cranks and gearing etc. It's old enough that the BB could be seized in there, bearings in frame and wheels might be knackered etc... For a run about or a bike to roll to the pub on fair enough but for anything more proper I'd be looking elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
