Thought i'd post up some different to normal pics and show my god old LTS 1000 DS in action.

First off a pic of the bike:

These pics were taken up at Sherwood Pines in Nottingham, showing that the old LTS can still certainly hold its own.... Enjoy:

    cool pics! The freeride area up at pines (i refuse to call it downhill, because it's not) is looking really good now eh?!

    Loving the LTS by the way, the blue frame, forks and tyres look really good together.

  • I used to have an LTS 2 back in the day (95'). It had a Kore stem and Orange superlite bars. Girvin Crosslinks (noleen shock), Flite saddle, Deore DX & XT, Panaracer Fire XC's on Mavic 117 rims, DX hubs.

    I used to think it was the bomb! I truly respect your commitment to the retro cause. One word of advice though, never, ever, try a Santa Cruz Blur LTcarbon......It will be the most expensive demo in history.......

    Bikes have moved on. But hey as someone once said, it's not about the bike....
    Keep it to a dull roar...

    Very nice looking bike. An LTS was pretty much top of my 'wanted' list back in the day. :D

    I wanted an LTS for years. I think I spent most of my teenage years wanting one!

    None came up for sale when I was looking. Ended up with a 2000 NRS, which I waited about 2 years for a frame to come up on Fleabay:
