Hi fellow radsters. My mate has found a complete bike and has asked me if it's any good or a pos. to be honest my first impressions are its a pos. but I thought I would post the pic up here in case I'm wrong (which lets face it happens quite regular on here!!)

I will apologise for my poor spelling and grammar in this thread just in case headmaster griff is reading!

Anyway here's the pic.

Looks like a Group 1 replica to me so should be worth grabbing

They are going for around £4000 complete I think at the moment

Well, judging by the extremely rare reflectors, I would say it's even the RS3 version

The frame might not be a complete POS as it has a ring reinforced head tube which you usually saw on higher end stuff.

It is being advertised as a gt dyno. If that helps. When I zoom in on the calipers they look quite weird. Maybe it's just the angle that the photo is taken?

looks like a 90s GT to me, those calipers are the ones which have the mounting bolt in the centr like normal but then it has like a u brake coming off it and the brakes run off that, think shimano made them, u brakes for caliper mounts without the need for a u brake plate basically
