GT Avalanche identifying? :)

[Gajda]

I was thinking of rebuilding and maybe repaint or polish up this one.
Im new here, and not a GT expert. So I would appreciate some help in identifying year on this one?

I have tried searching forums and Google, but cant find one with that "Avalanche" decal.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks man!

Will check it out

Most of the specs fits except mine has the 7005 frame..? :?

The Avalanche in the catalog had the 7000 frame? But maybe it came with the 7005 also?

Mine is bought in Norway, if it matters..?

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

It's '7000 Series' in the catalogue - which is a general way of saying 7005 tubing specifically. So basically it's the same thing!

Give it a clean and a tidy up, a bit of polish to the ball-burnished finish and you'll have a lovely riding retro 18" hardtail GT, one down the range from a Zaskar.

look at the serial number
the first two digit at the left are the month,and the second pair are the year

Is that right? I thought these numbers sequence works for Zaskars only, not Taiwan made models.

Zaskars, LTS's RTS's, STS's....those made in Southern California USA and out of 6061 tubing.

So.. Is mine a Taiwan made model?

Just wondering! Thanks
