Retro MTB is the new fixed

This seems like a lot of money for a really old bike.
Pretty good nick but…

That paint

GT Karakoram

That’s about the 3rd time I’ve seen that listed.

Would ride (with Time ATAC’s).

^ JLN thats not a retro MTB thats a Frankenbike.

This is a retro MTB that my friend picked up for similar money - 1988 Peugeot Montana, 531 tubing, XT throughout (including original XT brake pads!!). The only non original component is a reissue Turbo saddle.

The GT’s owner is aiming a bit high I think.

Always for this price?

Do like. Would ride

Fire the seller a low ball then. I reckon you should get it for $250 realistically.

Yeah, always $400. Make him an offer I say.

I agree with Dice, $200-250.

But this is also nice, paint not so rad but very clean plus it’s local

I’m about to list these on ebay, contact me if your keen…

XTR M951 8spd shifter brake units, in excellent condition.

Hello boys! That’s a very sweet set you got there.

They are now on the 'bay.

the stem on that GT is balling, i would loose the flat bars, drop the stem, throw on some drops and franken bike tha thing. with a nice saddle it would be ace

That stem would require a LOT of filing to thread a drop bar!

I think $400 is pretty alright for it, if the drivetrain is in good condition. GT has proper mtb heritage, too.

I offered him $300 yesterday + some bike parts.
He said no and that he had been offered more than that.
