1996 GT Avalanche on FB Marketplace - Had to save it!

Amazing you have photos of your first MTB, I don't. I barely have any of my second MTB either. Just rose tinted memories!

That was still a GT despite no triple triangle, but had their trademark overshot ovalised top tube/seat tube intersection with branded end cap. Love the bottle cage mounted to the underside of the top tube. How the hell did you fit a lock in there between x2 bottles?

Love you riding through the water, that's what I use to do, especially when you first got into MTBing, you head for the deepest, wettest, dirtiest thing you could find, just because, but you soon realise, cleaning bikes is a pain in the arse!

Hope they don't ever introduce mandatory helmet wearing to the UK, shame Australia and NZ have it. Retro helmet will be cool, plus some Eyeshades like your friend had, although so many glasses these days have Eyeshade DNA in them...
