GT Avalanche 1991?

[Sheffield]

Bought off Rascal, then built with odd 'n' sods that I had lying around. It's a rider, but only in races and nice days around my folks in Altrincham and my area around Keswick.

I know the red and purple (handlebars) are a little ott, but didn't have any other bits.

Thanks Drystonepaul for advice on routing.

Cool, thanks Mikee. It was a guess at the age as a chap at Hallam Uni ruled on one of these back in the day and he thought it was bought arounf 91/2 new. God know why they bothered with flipflop and adjustable dropout; my nose would be on the front wheel if I flipped the stem!

Anybody whereabouts this sat in the range? It's made of Prestige. I imagine near the top, as I don't think the Zaskar was about.

my bro had one of these, upgraded to it from a maurauder not sure where it came in the range - top few tho eh?
think he sold it to a mate who snapped it hopping off his garage roof!

that would be the 1991 model. i had the 92, which had slightly different paintjob, had the 'groove tube' and was made from GTX/temper tubing

the 91 is in whats called daktari white... i think

Quality, i love these, and I think I need one!

Nice one getting it built up for action.

PS 91 I reckon

Deffo a 1991. The catalogue is available in the 'Gallery and Archive' section, and the Avalanche was near the top end of the range at the time.
