Post by: Nicfred on April 14, 2013, 09:05 PM: I got this, not sure on size cos unsure where to measure from?

GT RTS Mountian bike

I have owned this from new many years ago,i guess around 20 + years ago , it was originally a RTS2 in Grey with orange stickers, after the warranty ran out i noticed there was a small crack on the weld, i spoke to GT but they said as the warranty had expired they could do nothing, i spoke to a friend who then managed to get me a brand new frame from GT which is what is now fitted here, this was also manyyears ago, i have only used it a few times since then and as you can see it just hangs in my garage, it is original as it was from new even down to the tyres, only thing not orginal when i got the bike is the frame, as explained above.

I had a Kilauea Rob and it was an awesome bike, only the frame was left standard though. Super light and fast as hell. Bit small for me that one though.
Title: Re: **WANTED** retro MTB
Post by: pickle on April 16, 2013, 08:05 AM: yeah in the mid 90's it was all about Kona, their bikes just seemed way ahead of anything. Loved the paint jobs on the Klein's as well :smitten:
Title: Re: **WANTED** retro MTB
Post by: kungfunky on April 16, 2013, 08:15 AM: Yup your right, the Klein Attitude had the best paint of them all with the perl finishes :smitten:
Title: Re: **WANTED** retro MTB
Post by: pickle on April 16, 2013, 08:19 AM: The old Zaskar was a damn fine frame as well though, couple of those on evil bay at the mo :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: **WANTED** retro MTB
Post by: kungfunky on April 16, 2013, 08:36 AM: Always fancied a yellow one of those, great frames
Title: Re: **WANTED** retro MTB
Post by: jimwise68 on April 16, 2013, 08:37 AM: Yeah Ash, dont go midschool, go OS MTB.

The Kleins are fooking lovely, big bucks still though (well compared to other OS MTB, but cheap compared to OS BMX).

Look on Retrobike you'll find one on there :daumenhoch:

Here are my recent purchases

Title: Re: **WANTED** retro MTB
Post by: pickle on April 16, 2013, 09:19 AM: The Klein's looked lovely but were really harsh to ride! such a stiff hard frame but looked real cool with those paint jobs and internal cable routing :smitten:

Post by: kungfunky on April 16, 2013, 02:42 PM: Jim that explorers ace, I remember when those wheel covers came out and my mate had one that lasted about 1 week before he smashed it to pieces at the local bomb hole :LolLolLolLol:
Title: Re: **WANTED** retro MTB
Post by: jimwise68 on April 16, 2013, 03:11 PM: lol not many of the wheel discs left it seems.
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/j135/jimwise68/image-7_zpsdfc92f01.jpg)

I ride all 3 of mine daily. The white/lilac courier goes out in the morning to give the dog a run up the river walk. The flecked white/gray courier is my station hack and the explorer goes out in the evening to give the dog a run over the fields.

They all do their respective jobs with ease, well sorted bikes indeed. :daumenhoch:

Post by: 80s bmx on April 21, 2013, 10:10 AM: Those muddy fox's take me back.
I'm sure my mate had a white one with black crack effect paint work and white discs.
I had a bloody racer that Christmas as my dad thought it was better and that mountain bikes was just a gimmick bike that won't last long. Lol

Post by: Moose on April 22, 2013, 11:23 PM: Got a 90's Scott Yecora - almost completely standard.

A bit like this one, only I replaced the saddle and bars/stem/grips (should all parts apart from the grips hanging around though)
