Welcome to the forum!

Any particular reason you want 95-99? I ask because the GT steel frames of the early 90s were quite special. They featured awesome paint jobs and a lot of great features (groove tube, the 3D fork, etc.).

You probably know about the size issue with GTs. They are bigger than their official size, because the seattube is measured from centre bottom bracket to centre top tube (and not: end of seattube). Therefore, a 18inch GT is more like a 19inch normal bike etc.

Have you seen Oldschoolers 1992 GT Avalanche in this thread:

Or look at this nice 1992 Karakoram:

Edit: just saw, that you are 6ft. 4. Then look for a 20inch GT!

GT steel frames aren't exactly lightweight. My 19inch GT Psyclone weighs 2170g naked. Marin, Breezer and Ritchey built rather light steel bikes.
