Any way to ID this GT?

Aquired this as it had some lovely parts, and it rides beautifully, would like to add a decal set... As far as I can make out it could be an Avalanche, Tempest, Backwoods or Pantera? Can I just pick the decal kit I like best?

Serial number AND 7005 photo's
So 1997 made C = March, so will be a 1997 model. 264 on the line..
Will be Avalanche Aggressor or Strike ...
But needs to be Alu so call it an Avalanche as it's silver.

Okay thanks for this!

As above Aluminium 7005 no flat cap so probably a Avalanche

(Seatpost clamp is on backwards)

S7CA00264 for the search engine. @kingoffootball may have something else close listed. All I've got are two LTS frames and it definitely isn't one of those!

Nothing to add - I've recorded it and if I get more of this format I'll be able to say whether there's anything else that can be discerned.

I see traces of bright yellow paint, that makes me think Avalanche, also.
Although the seat stay brace is different from my 2000 / 2001.

If it helps, it's not a Strike. welds are different and no downtime cable bosses

(my 97 Strike for Ref)

I think it's really down to which level of 1997 Alu bike , Avalanche (LE), Terramoto, Ricochet, Backwoods, Tempest, Arrowhead.

Avalanche and Backwoods are both ball burnished silver. No idea if the silver of Backwoods was different to the Avalanche?


Anyone know if they milled, butted and lightened the frame throught he range, or was it just components?
Anyway, With Hope hubs and JUDY SL 1997 forks, that top end stuff now.
