drcarlos' muddy fox for me! I just like the lines of it

Tubes made in the US does not mean the frame was

According to gm1230126 the 92 Avalanche was made by Toyo in Japan. If anybody would know about this he would. Still not a Taiwanese bike.
This really needs to be sorted out as their is a very good chance this will be the BOTM winner IMO .

My 91 Avalanche's serial number starts with a T. Standard issue with Toyo's frames.

Narrowed it down to four:
Mossy's 1992 GT Avalanche (If made in Taiwan, which is questionable)

manbeer's Barracuda A2E

klasse's 1991 Bridgestone MB-0 Zip (not the first bike I think of when thinking "Made in Taiwan" ?!?!)

kaiser's KHS Montana XT

I don't think Taiwan, when thinking Bridgestone. The GT Avalanche would get my vote if it was made in Taiwan, as I really like that pain scheme and the build.

So, that narrows it down to Kaiser's and manbeer's, and I always go steel, when it comes down to it, so Kaiser's KHS Montana XT it is, for me
(despite its really long front brake cable/housing )
