GT Vengeance
Extras
This is the commercial derivative of GT's Project 96 Olympic Superbike. Nominal STA is 74deg I believe, but the (rather heavy...steel) forward-position adapter I've got on there will get you out past 80deg easily. I had a comfortable and fast body position (flat back, 90deg angles @ arms and torso, etc...all the good Slowtwitch-Approved stuff) on this frame and I'm 5'9" with fairly average/balanced leg and torso lengths. Imagine it'd fit folks slightly shorter or taller than me pretty easily.
Frame and fork finish is in good condition...has the usual nicks and scratches of a bike this old (circa 98-99). Most noticeable wear is on inner chainring, which seems to be losing it's plating/anodization. Armrest pad fabric is also slack/stretched.
With race wheels (not available...already traded) I rode it to several top AG and occasionally OA bike splits at distances from sprint to HIM...she's fast...even without the "engine". What's important is that is can be set up to let you go fast, comfortably.
Asking $650 incl. shipping with everything listed. Can supply more pics & measurements upon request.
Thanks for looking.
