1996 GT-LTS-1 THERMOPLASTIC with Titanium linkage 18 frame (the more sought after size). Here is a rare frame! Some may say the Holy Grail of the GT-LTS! This bike blew peoples minds back in 1996! The first year of their carbon (thermoplastic) frames. This is the only year GT produced this frame under the LTS name with the Titanium link. 1997 and later models were named STS with a different Aluminum link. Frame is in good used shape with NO CRACKS. Some chain suck marks that are typical of this (and most 1990′s bikes) as shown in pictures. I took detailed pictures. I have more and can take more. Bike will come with. Original front and rear Shimano M-739 derailleurs (shown in last picture). Derailleur hanger (looks straight). Titec seat post (26.8). Velo Cross Bow Saddle. Top Tube measurement center of head tube to center of seat tube is 22 1/2 (571.5mm). I had the rear RockShox SUPER Deluxe shock spring professionally powder coated. Its the 700 X 1.25. (Extra spring will not be included if I accept a best offer). Rear shock seems to function as it should but I’m sure it could use a rebuild. GRAB IT BEFORE ITS GONE!!!

1997 GT STS-1 with Rock Shox Deluxe rear shock. 18 frame (stamped on bottom bracket, 1096 would indicate it was built 10th month of 1996 for 1997 sales). Good original condition with original decals. I’ve not polished the aluminium I’ve left it as is so should you choose to polish it you can. Headtube is aluminium but painted black. Later ones were thermoplastic this may have been painted to replicate that. Some came from the factory like that, its not the only one I’ve seen like it. No damage to the frame that I can detect other than light cosmetic, commensurate with its age. Shock is obviously 22 years old and I have no service history for it. The frame has been stripped down for over 5 years and unridden so I can’t test it. Doesn’t feel like there is any play in the bushes, replacement trunnion chips are available from BETD.
