Did a quick search of the forum to wonder if anybody else had received a similar PM. Looks like I'm not alone, though thus far you all appear to be road bike fans...
Apparently they consider my clapped out old GT Timberline to be a '1001 Bicycles to Dream of Riding Before You Die' :shock: :lol:
I can only think I did a bad job of repacking a rear hub that was on it's last legs... As I rode along the cones worked their way loose, built up pressure on the QR skewer which sheared at the nut with such pressure that I never found the nut again. It shot off like a bullet.
Still got something like the Sony MDS-JE470 gathering dust in a cupboard at home.
Having looked at how little they fetch on the 'bay these days, it'll probably stay there.
I should see if it still works.
Re: i have a GT Timberline,what year though?green.
GT did the deep metallic green Timberline in 1994 and 1995 too.. Pics of mine should be in my sig... But it isn't lime green.
Having had a mooch on Google I'd side with JamesM's guess of 1999, pending a photo.
I've been known to pootle up the Chesire Lines from my house over by Aintree.
Massively out of shape right now (and always), but I'll keep my eyes open for a Cro Mega on my travels. :D
Pity I didn't see you around on that day, I was riding my modern bike, it was a good day.
Its hard work stringing together an end to end route in Delamere, I seem to always end up just riding trails I know. It looks like you managed to snag a good run along most of the routes I'm aware of...
Fine if you know what you're after.
But most of their customers probably don't know what they're after.
I did the reading and bought the Fury based off that, couldn't get near the spec from a boutique brand. After-sales support was pathetic.
