My 92 GT Avalanche

I just thought i'd post a few pics of me and my newly aquired 92 GT Avalanche making the most of the sun on Sunday

This is my first retro bike

that's great.

track down a pukka GT stem and it'll be spot on.

To be honest, my Trek 8000 hasn't turned a wheel since I got the Avalanche.

I've just come back from a week riding the Coed-Y-Brenin and the Marin Trail on it and it was perfect

Infact I keep searching the net now for a higher spec GT steely like a Borrego or similar to keep my Avalanche company

In 1992 the Avalanche was near the top of the GT tree. Think they're built from prestige.

Only the psyclone was above the avalanche in the GT range - not sure what year they started building them.

The Borrego was mid range from memory.

I know that it's a true temper frame.

And it rides a lot nicer than my 2006 Trek 8000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've actually got a flip flop stem in the garage, I just need to get it painted to match as it;s black at the mo.

Although if a proper white one turns up..................

Early steel GT's rock. Nice bike, cool location for pix.

Those pics were taken only 3 miles away from my front door in the Isle Of Man.

It's a 2.5 mile climb mind you, which according to my Garmin goes from 136ft to 1358ft in one go :-(

Nice bike. I do love GT's from the early/mid 90's, especially the ones with mad paint jobs
Yours looks very well looked after, and IMO would look just sweet with a set of Rock Shox Mag's on the front. Also, as you say, get a GT stem for it with a little less rise

Heres my Avalanche Expert 2007 after my ride on Sunday. Cant help but wish GT would go back to the good old days of lively paint jobs!
