Very rare item here. Most folks know the GT Xizang, but the lesser know Lighting had a matte finish and was produced in very limited numbers oversees. This one was actually made in the US in 97 just before GT shut down their domestic frame production.

Size 58ish-cm effective toptube

It comes in the flatbar version shown with a ti stem and bar. I've got Advent X 1x10 setup (165 crank) on it right now with the smallest Wolftooth chainring i could—I think 36. Paul levers and brakes. Cheeper Shimano hubs RaceKing 2.2s.

I'm also including a Ritchey Corolitos bar with Advent X brifters for running it as a drop bar setup (as shown).

If you want to run singlespeed or fixed, I have a set of Wheels Manufacturing hubs laced to mavic 717s included. The back hub is one of their eccentric ones. Also included is a bullhorn bar and Paul E-Lever.

Last ive got some new brakes pads with it

- No bags, saddle, pedals, bottle cages, grips are included
