Can you identify this?

[HedonSteve]

I have had this bike for a good few years now, id say about 5 or 6, its evolved a bit in that time too, can anyone please have a go at telling me what frame it might be?

Its an alloy GT but thats as much as i know to be fair.

It was bought from someone who bought it off Pickle on here as far as i know.

Id love to get it sorted ready for some mucky winter riding!

Thanks!

Always thought I'd be asking for trouble as I can't honestly say I know a great deal about GT's and just proved this

 

[HedonSteve]

Has it got a canti guide on the seattube? roughly where that mud is on the photo

If it doesn't then it will be 1997 or later. Looks a lot like my 1997 Backwoods, a nice frame.

Tempest ?

 

[coomber]

Tempest, avalanche, backwoods, all pretty much the same frame, all 7005 alu, same curved top tube cap.

I know this will put the cat among the pigeons but back in about 97/98 a friend of mine bought a Backwoods frame in Atomic Rust just because it had a 6061 frame on it :shock:

My Ball Burnished 1997 Backwoods was definately 7005 alu.
