That is a cooler version of the the old GT RTS :love: (owned one in 94ish)luelling said:
Nice oldschool bike.
I might be wrong, but that looks like a normal set of XT triggers. There's also a remote lockout for the rear shock, but no cable is attached.luelling said:

better eyes than me 
That's one of those novelty bikes that you'll take out for a relaxing ride every once-in-a-while but would heart broken if you ever had it in a serious crash. Kinda like Stinky's dual-drive single speed kona. I'm assuming he doesn't ride that thing everywhere...
the plastic guard on the chainring is rad

I'd use it as bar transportation.

The Sunn bike is almost a twin to the old GT RTS.....
High pivot rocker driven shock.....RTS=Rocker Tuned Suspension. Although my RTS had like 1.8" of travel. LOL

Nah....I wouldn't do jumping but for trail riding it would be OK. Friend ran a RST Mozo Hi-5 on his older Y-bike back in the day. I even ran a 6" boxxer on my GT STS carbon bike (carbon wrap HT was stronger than the aluminum only HT supposedly) I even rode Snoqualmie gravity assisted XC type riding (DH for back then)Nobody said:

Dude, I owned a RS Quadra 10....retired it and then exteneded the trvael to 3 inches
My old RTS had a Noleen non piggy back coil/oil shock and a chromoly swing arm with no pivot at the rear axle.
The swing arm was expected to flex Oly the aluminum swing arms in later years contained a pivot near the rear axle
Sorry, disregard my comment. I have no idea what I was talking about; I just finished doing a job application and was not in the zone. I thought you were talking about two completely different bikes.RhinofromWA said:What??

US $1,450.00 ?!?
I paid less than that when I bought a Y-22 back in 1996.
He'll probably get it.
I am 30 yo but I remember the RS-1 (never had one but a riding buddy in college did) I was around to see the golden days of good old DH racing and consumer accessible suspension.....in most of its glory and horror.reflux said:

My buddy Dan built up a near twin of that bike in high school. I made fun of him then, and I stand by that now. Worst bike I've ever pedaled.
That is too funny.
That is too funny.
that is a seriously crook 'freeride' bike....
