Re: Re:

Did you actually own yours from new then?

Nope, I'm 21 years old and the bike is 20

But I imported it from the USA last year and built it up as you see it on the top of page one, then later sold it. But it's recently come up for sale and I've bought it back

Re:

Funny that when I was tearing up the woods on my first Zaskar you were only just born
Also, without sounding patronising, nice to see a young 'un appreciate the old stuff, I thought most of the people on here were old guys wearing thick rose tints :razz:

Back when I was 15 I was a work experience kid in a 2nd hand bike shop, and I remember they took in a 1992 gt avalanche as part ex that I liked. It was GT daktari white with the black patches and blue decals. Because they couldn't pay me I got given the frame plus some gt parts and a pair of mk2 manitou elastomer forks with purple anodising. So I joined the site to find some original parts and gather info for it, fair to say I've learned a lot since then.

Re:

What happened to that? Still got it?
I had a 2001 Avalanche, loved that thing

Re: Re:

i built it up and split it down a few times, i did source a few original bits for it and rode it late 2008 - early 2009. i had a job in halfords bikehut at the time and my workmates took the piss out of it daily, apparently i was riding a 'cow bike'
When i was 16/17 i gave it away to member 'reluctant' on here, and began restoring the Orange i bought through the forum

i dont know if the GT is still going or not

Re:

XT wheels are on, as are the raceface cranks which look a lot better than i had expected (i think i may introduce more silver onto the bike now )

Heres some pics, let me know what you think, Cheers!
