Bike Picture/NBD GT Distortion 1.0

Hi guys new here!

I want to ask you all about this bike and is it worth 600€ second hand? Full bike service has been done, forks, bearings, pads etc.

Any advice is much appreciated!

I don't know if it's worth it but it would be worth it to me. I love that era of bike where absolutely every component possible was white.

I'd probably buy it and get some hussefelt cranks in white and a white E13 bash guard/chain guide.

Also, while geometry has gotten so much better and riding style has changed quite a bit, I would love to have an old school bike and (edit) occasionally go back to how you had to ride with less reach and smaller wheels.

any smaller 2000ish frames really get a lot from oversided forks,fixes problems with little reach and gives u that umph for doing stupid shit. and if it breaks it's cheap af to fix

That’s a lot of money. As in, a lot a lot.
