The decals could be original. There are a lot of suspected 1997 and 1998 frames in this thread with G serials.

Yea could be for sure. The frames are identical apart from serial.

The latest one I’ve just picked up is GTX97271 and I’m undecided whether to decal as it should be or go 96 style on this one.

Been a while but I would like to add my Xizang here as well:
TTN 278
Internal cable routing through the top tube.
Plain dropouts.
External butting of the headtube.

Nice! U-brake, right? What size is it?

 

[AirTomac]

U-Brake, of course. Seattube c-t is 51cm so I believe it is a 20".

GT measured C-C, so that will be an 18". If I was a 20" I'd be even more likely to be proposing a trade for my 1993

I have been looking for a Xizang for years. And I am stoked to even find a TTN one! So this one is a keeper! Sorry!
