Are the alloy GT frames all the same? Not Zaskars but the rest? Only differences being kit spec per model?
 
I think the backwoods and arrowhead frames were plain gauge aluminium but pantera and avalanche frames were butted but the construction was the same from what i have seen along years.
 
I don;t believe the catalogs say there are any differences until you get to 97 catalog maybe. Very similar 7005 frames 93-96ish. Better finished and colors were always on the higher end Avalanche and Pantera models though.
 
Cheers, I have a totally rogue frame and wondered what it could be, impulse buy that'll probably never see the light of day :roll:

Pickle, sorry old chum I hadn't forgotten, just hadn't taken the pics. :roll:


There in a thread in the for sale bit
 
7000, 7005 and 6061 T6 are what I've seen so far along with the Easton frames on Retrobike.

look on the rear drop outs - the frame matreial used to be stamped here.

oh - and gussetss, rear brace between the stays seems to change.

I believe that the avalanche shares the same frame as the cheaper models, looked at a backwoods that stands parked, where I work and it looks excactly as my avalanche Le. But in original ball burnished.

does anyone know what an 16" avalanche frame weights?
