1991 GT Team Avalanche (1990!)

Yes, That is a 1990 GT TEAM Avalanche. The bike that launched ol GM himself into GTdom. I had an 18" frame just like it. Nice pick Utahdog. If I hadn't been working at auction end you'd have paid a lot more to have had a chance to own it.

thanks GM... Not like you need MORE GTs anyway! :p

:LOL: :LOL:
 
very nice indeed – the speckled blue one's much nicer than the plain white.

One of these day's I'll find my unicorn ('91 Team Av in Midnight Aurora). :roll:

Well If I land one of these I can complete the "Team" Avalanche collection. Will then have all years from 90-93.

The thing that always troubled my about this 1990 model year Team Avalanche was the weight. One would have thought with a Prestige frame and RM-17's that the bike would have come in at 25lbs or a tad under at that time period but mine was over 28lbs. Huge difference when I went to the Xizang in 1991 with mostly Ti and CNC parts and dropped the weight to under 23 lbs.

It's actually not that bad. Of course, I'm used to EWRs! :LOL:

I think I can build it to the neighborhood of 25-26lbs or so without too much effort. :cool:
 
Great bike frame and bits, i remember the 1990 range :cool:
The bits were heavy but cromo is (or should be) reliable, cromo wan't always a lot heavier, if you are a tough guy looking for a tough bike then ideal, it took almost a decade to start making trail bikes tough again, after the world weenieing! :D
