1997 GT LTS 3
Eight-speeds, Mavic wheelset, and WTB tires are just the minor upgrades to this year’s LTS-3. The really big news for 1997 is that it now features the same beautifully sculpted alloy link as the LTS-2, a genuine Rock Shox Deluxe rear shock, Rock Shox Indy XC fork, and the all-new Shimano LX V-Brake system. But that’s not all—take a hard look at the LTS-3, and you’ll find the kind of features you’d only expect on more expensive bikes.
