The basic Karakoram is a mix between LX,DX and XT.
The Elite one is full DX.

No?

seems reasonable, looking closer the one on the 'bay has a dx front mech and mines got lx... i think we've answered that then not a massive difference

My '92 Karakoram have LX crank and hubs,XT combos and DX mech's and brakes,full original.

That eBay post is a "Night Sky" colored Karakoram Elite...Circa 1991

In 1991 the Karakoram was an LX/DX mix. LX hubs, mechs and crank, DX shifters and brakes,
Araya CV-7 single wall rims.

The 1991 Karakoram Elite was full DX group,
Ritchey Vantage comp double wall rims with a nicer seat post and pedal than the Karakoram.
Same frame and fork on both models.

I posted the 1991 GT Catalog in the Catalog thread a few weeks back if you want to view it.
