Definitely not a Psyclone,they had replaceable dropouts and as they were strictly race bikes,they had no rack eyelets.I`d say that its a Karakoram,they are excellent frames.Could be a Bravado too but they came will full XT.

When you say rack eyelets, do you mean the ones up behind the seat or the ones down by the dropouts? Because the yellow one far down on the page i linked has the eyelets down by the dropouts and it is (looks to be) a Psyclone...

Edit: I'm just curious and wanting to learn, not trying to be a smart ass =)
 
Re:

I believe the bravado had a flat end cap on the top tube. As far as the eyelets for a bike rack, this frame has them at the dropouts but none by the seat up top. I wonder if GT changed to the weld on dropouts/derailleur hanger in 95. I would say that if you like the bike enough, just go ahead and build it as a Psyclone with XTR M900 components. If you want to use the XT components then build it as a Karakoram.
