hi there!
here's my GT avalanche '92 in the very hard to find BAJA BLUE colour (GT had their Mexico base/branch in Baja California in those days... see the pictures...); the 'normal' colour for the 92 avalanche was white...
got it last week from a 71 year old man from Zurich for 150 SFR (150 $)!!!
he had bought it in 1992 and the bike has seen very little to (probably) no use at all... it's one of the first paintjobs with the later famous blue/yellow combo. i could only find about 5 pictures of this 'baja blue' avalanche bike with google, so i thought i should add a few more... it is an awesome bike!! except for the saddle and the tires (which had been removed and replaced with something according to the original owner's liking when he bought it) the bike is 100% original.. and MINT, almost NOS! NOT A SCRATCH!
hope to return to baja california in the future and ride my 'baja blue' avalanche down to cabo san lucas, like i did in 1994...
hope you like the pictures!
p.s. of course, the old man i got the baja blue avalanche from had NOT replaced the tires and saddle in 1992 with a selle italia slr in yellow (that was ME two days ago), nor the tires with ONZA canis 2.25's .. that was me, too....
