Default Pawn shop Find (bike)
I stopped by a pawn shop today just to look.I found this bike that had some magura rim brakes but it looked like they were attached to pistons.It also had Race face cranks (8spd.) It had this huge funky rear hub on spinergy rims.The frame was all polished aluminum with a shock built into the rear triangle.It had triple crown forks that looked like they had 2" of travel. Any idea what bike this is????Im gonna buy it, but the owner just got it and did not know how much to sell it for.

Very similar, but the forks had less travel and were beefier. The head set was integrated with the fork.

Yes the hub were spox (that was the name) But the frame is not quite the same as the gt lts.The only markings I saw on the frame were 7004 aluminum I think.The forks on the head set and the stachction had like concave circles with allens in the ceter of them. Its hard to explain.

oh and it had a straight top tube and seat tube. Not curved the the GT seat tube.

Very close, but it was a coil shock in the rear with a red coil.
