Any way to ID this GT?

Joe 1980

Retro Newbie
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? 😆🤘

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