i thought the backwoods was 7005 series aluminium, :? the curved top tube stamp begs the zaskar or not issue..

Again I never claimed to "know it all". I do know a fair amount and I am willing to do the research unlike yourself....your frame was produced in either 10 of 96 like you posted or 09 or 1996 like it is stamped in your pictures which would actually make it a 1997 model year frame. Both the Avalanche and Avalanche LE were 6061 and USA made for the 1997 model year. That's right....walk over to the wall there to your bookcase and pull out your 1997 GT catalog from your collection and see for yourself. I already have. Your frame is one of the two but it has Zaskar decals on it along with a designed in the USA decal that was designed to be on a Taiwan frame..you tell us how that got there after all it is your bike.

no i'm sorry, i disagree gm, avalanche's are made from 7005 series aluminium, as are the backwoods, which would make this frame a mystery, the curved back plate points too non zaskar, but the 6061 series aluminium means it's not a avalanche, or a backwoods.

i agree, september 1996, the drop out says it clear as day, but i think it's a tempest over a zaskar buddy, maybe even the exact one in the link,

Imagine that....it's an Avalanche or Avalanche LE that was USA made...in late 1996.... meaning early 1997 model year production and the 1997 Avalanche and Avalanche LE were USA made and 6061 per the catalog and Bikepedia.
