Clean it up, polish the frame and enjoy riding it, it looks in decent condition!

looks to be in decent condition, shame it's too far away for me. Cost of travel will outweigh the value of the bike, as much as I like it, I am not that desperate. 😁

My Timberline was heavily upgraded when it got stolen in 1993, so it won't be same bike. 😒

The first one I have seen in this size and colour in UK since my first GT Timberline (same size and colour) got stolen! https://ebay.us/m/a43Ib9

PM sent! re; Shimano XT pedals!

Thanks @d8mok, that is settled then! ;)

Hi all, I am looking for some decent wheels for my '91 Zaskar project. Ideally they would have to be Shimano Deore XT hubs like M730 or M735 laced to a decent set of rims like Mavic/Araya/Ritchey's. I have already been scouring eBay in the hope to find some wheels, though some appear on eBay...

Nice! :p

That Timberline frame is 16" (GT Measures centre BB to centre top tube)

https://ebay.us/m/Otbdod I bought one of these for my '91 Zaskar build, nice condition too.

Sadly I don't have a suitable place to do this job myself without spending more than it will cost to have it done professionally...

That is a good point! But as the forks need repainting anyway I would think they could be the best option and not too far away from me. I don't know why I didn't think of that before, 😒.
