Sure some of the VRC boyz will be all over this

In all seriousness it's kind of worth collecting. Often the, er, less good stuff (being kind) is forgotten and in years to come may be super collectable. Or not.

Yep, looking forward to seeing the 200GS equipped mountain goat in BOTM

maybe if you applied the principle of a weighted average then sticking this on a mountain goat or some ti frame may equal a mid range bike.... (it would probably be the right weight!)

seriously though I was just amazed that it had lasted unscathed & intact all this time

for 30 quid though,just as a conversation piece,its heritage,we've all been there!

Let the shill bidding commence...

I kept the non-drive side crank arm of that crankset as a keepsake after getting hit with it; I can pop it on the scale and take a pic just for the fun of it.

anybody want to wager what it will weigh???

200GS - I had the thumbshifter version - Nylon DX

Ok its the lowest useable groupset but its also one of the most robust. The rings were replaceable, the mechs shift as well as XT and being minty mint it would sit perfectly on a good double butted frame and shift for another 20 years.
