lulz. My former housemate had one of these that he’d never maintained ever. Not like it was awesome to begin with, but still sad to see pink splatter paint go to waste. Oh well.

it was on ebay last week or so with a $420 bin, not joking

No buyers at $420 BIN, and still no buyers at $390 BIN? If the seller would pack & ship to a freight forwarder it would already be en route to Melbourne.
Also, GT SS love:

If you really want it I’ll fetch and ship for you at cost. Would be fun to go up to Beacon and ride it back to NYC, and it’s just my size. Would have to be after Mar 12 though.

Hah! You can’t resist! Buying it just for the stem? Gotta admit, I’ve been hella tempted by the price drop. Almost forgotten about the other bike that’s stuck in my craw at the moment… But I guess if he won’t send it freight forwarders, that’s me out, too.
What’s with that? I had a guy last week who wouldn’t do that for me. “Nor am I too interested in the risk of sending it overseas and having the buyer claim they were dissatisfied with the frame.” Haven’t these people heard of the fuckin’ ANZUS treaty? We let your sailors fuck our prostitutes, you send us bicycles.
The shifters on that purple e-bay bike are cool
yeah. I’d be pretty stoked if someone did a high quality 10 speed knockoff of Suntour Commands.
lol!

Kevin wants it. It’s even the right size for him. Go on, do it!
I don’t really need a second Tachyon, as much as I do want that stem for mine.

I might also be interested in the same thing if neither of the aussies go through with it, I’m in Canada.
my roommate has a gt edge 853 that he got hit by a car while riding on one of the first rides he had it after purchasing it.
the dented frame is in our basement
feels bad man
but he got a big insurance settlement

I’m not going to be using the one that came with mine (going threadless) , it’s black and 90mm. You’re welcome to it for shipping.
Yours didn’t come with the SW8 adjustable-offset fork?
Keep in mind when stem swapping that some of them are 1" threaded and others are 1 1/8" threaded
No mine was cobbled together with a GT 700c hybrid fork :drama:
No way would I replace the offset sweetness if it had it. My dual quill flippy stem is 1" FWIW.
Gonna run a hybrid dick brake fork with 650b’s.
Goddammit, I think I might be in. Not for buy-it-now price, though.

If I get it I’m just going to try to get him to ship to Cali, say it’s my friend’s condo or something. But if he’s a dick about it, I might take you up on this offer. Thanks a bunch!!
Btw, you folks who’ve got 'em: reckon I could fit Hetres (on 650b rims)?
SW8! What’s shipping to (Melbourne) Australia from your neck of the woods? Mine is 1".

Totally fits. You could put Quasi Motos in there. I had to put a drop bolt on the front fender and large spacers on the rear, there’s that much room.
No good shot of the rear clearance, but here’s a giant fungus
62 cm titanium GT with Dura Ace for $1000, plus a bunch of additional junk. I want. He won’t ship or drop off at a local bike shop. Can anyone confirm that this is a Ti GT, or is that polished aluminum I’m seeing.
http://atlanta.craigslist.org/wat/bik/2859881424.html
And the offer still stands on the purple E-bay GT if anyone wants it from out of the country.
I’d bet strongly on it actually being Ti and not just nutjob confusion
would be real into it myself if I hadn’t just filled that hole in my stable with my TAF Time
Yeah, there are definitely Ti Edges out there.
