Al_Fel Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 They retail at £400 but I picked mine up for £370. They are apparently very limited edition. I was alway a fan of Hans Rey back in the 90s, so I felt I had to give this frame a try to start with. ← Sorry to piss on your bon fire but you got ripped off mate. Take it as a Lesson.

Munki Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I don't like that bike, doesn't look as nice as it could/should. ← Why should a bike look nice? Shouldn't a bike ride nice? f**k all this "i need my bike too look good" shit, I remember back in the days when that bike would have been one of the best trials bikes around. All this new XTP cnc'd shit pisses me right off. You kids riding trials today don't have a f**king clue how lucky you are to have all this trials specific stuff available to you.

Rob_P Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Very sweet ride!! Looks so clean and tidy! Good choice Glad to see somein different but I can't say i'd ever buy one due to the general ride of it, cant say i'd be able to front touch that beast! But none the less very very nice!!!!!

MikeWarner Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Sorry - frame was £270 not £370, I'm going senile in my old age. I did in fact buy it via the second ebay link above (they had two in stock). I've been out for a ride today and things are starting to come back to me now. Hopefully a few month down the line I'll be back to the standard I was at 10 years ago. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike even looks a little like hans rey (Y)" ← Cheers for letting me come along - a pity I had to leave early though. I got back to my car and found that my cranks were indeed loose, so good that I stopped riding when I did. It was a good day for me, some of my skills started to come back, but I still need a lot of work on the basics. At the moment, I just not feeling that the bike is an extension of myself - which is something that will come with time. I have fiddled with the brakes a bit more and straightened the rear wheel out so the brakes no longer rub on the back. The tar helped loads (Thanks Charlie for that!). I'll get some more practice in before next time! (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebor Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Wow, looks so old school, nice bit of foot-front tire action going methinks! Though, I'm gonna be a naggy b*****d, there is a bike pics thread in Sites, Vids and Pics, if anyone else had done this it'd have been closed straight away, so there's no reason for yours to be kept open (N) Though you're pretty new here so that's why it appears none of the mods give two shits B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iatola says Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 WAAAAAH that is Old Skool like happy shopper. Ive still got a '97 20" GT tempest. The guy who rode it gave the frame to me.

RyanRs Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 A word of warning from someone who knows.... DONT LEAVE THAT BIKE ANYWHERE! it will get nicked and sold for parts before you can shout 'STOP THIEF!' it seems that the GT brand of bikes is the only quality / expensive bike that chavvies know of and they target them over any other bike. in the thieving world, the GT is the XR3i of bikes.... if you get me! i had a GT zascar LE with full xtr spec get stolen from under my nose. Nice bike though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bike though! ← I won't be leaving it anywhere - don't worry! (Y) Incidentally, I also still own my old 1993 GT Zaskar LE. I am currently building it up to it's original spec - just waiting on some genuine 1991 Onza tyres and some new (never used ) 1992 XTR cantilevers and I'll have all the bits I need. It even has Middleburn RS1 cranks, Hope Titanium hubs, flite, USE post.... etc. Very old school! It is the bike I learnt most of my trials on (back when XC bikes were all that trials riders had access to). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
