Hi all. I hope ive posted this in the right place. I was wondering if any of you could help identify this GT bike. I'm guessing its a mid 90's Avalanche going by the components, but i was hoping someone else could be more exact. The GT website isnt much help and i cant find anything much in google images to help me be certain. It has GT stamped in the end of the top tube by the seat clamp and also a small GT on the flat part of the frame above the rear QR. Its an Alu frame and there are light blue colour paint specks in some of the nooks and crannys, so i assume it was this colour before being stripped to bare metal. Whether the blue was original or not, i'm unsure. You cant see in the photo but the frame has a nice brace on it between the seat stays above the rear wheel. I can post more photo's if it helps.
I'm thinking of attempting my first restoration as the frames really nice and i'm developing a fondness for the retro bikes of my youth, but i already have a lot of bikes so it might end up looking for a good home. I'd just really like to know what it is before i decide what to do with it. I have used a bit of autosol on the top tube since the photo and it polishes up well!
Any help at all would be most appreciated. Many thanks and great site!
