Thanks Rik.
 
All the GT catalogues are on here in the Gallery & Archive section at the top, have a browse and soak it all up.

Guessing its a 1996 from the canti guide on the seattube.

No earlier, 96 was first year it just said 'GT' on downtube. I think this is 95 (1st year for Tempest ?) as it has the 2 hole mech hanger and the blue and white 'All GT Terra' decals. Catalogue on here no help as I think its tech shop so doesn't show the lower models.

I suspect under all that muck is a rather nice Ball burnished frame. Grab some Autosol (or similar) and polish away.

I had a look through the catalogues but couldn't see anything. The frame was a bit tatty some deep scratches and dints I have had it powder coated and have been slowly getting some bits for it. I would like to get a decal kit for it and was wondering if any one could point me in the right direction I have had a look on eBay but all I can find is Zazkar decals

This is what it looked like a few months back I have changed the folks stem and handle bars since I took this pic.
