GT All terra - age and model ID required

[Geordynige]

Hi all,
My lucky wife has just inherited a lovely brushed aluminium GT all terra from a friend who no longer uses it. I have no idea how old the bike is or which model it is?

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers

Mid/early nineties Avalanche is one option. Others are better experts than I.

1994 Avalanche see P4 here: http://www.mtb-kataloge.de/Bikekataloge/PDF/GT/1994.pdf

1996 Backwoods/Avalanche? http://www.mtb-kataloge.de/Bikekataloge/PDF/GT/1996.pdf

NOT a Zaskar though (do a search on here you'll find hundreds of 'is my GT a Zaskar? Or 'I was sold this as a Zaskar and now I'm told it isn't' type threads )

I'd go later than mid. . . with the brace thingy welded underneath the downtube and not between top and downtubes..

Thanks Guys,
will keep hunting but at least I know it is in the 90's!

Bit of luck one of the GT chaps will be along later and may be able to help..

Nice condition.

My guess as a minor GT obsessive would be a 1998 GT Tempest (if the sticker's original no others were that colour that year). Look on the frame for a number and if it were a Zaskar it would have 6061 stamped on it somewhere.

Try here (page 17).

There's a spec in there somewhere, obviously it will have been updated but a lot of bits might be standard.

It's not a Zaskar.. 100%

1996 GT Pantera

What chainset is on it? STX-RC?

Thanks Guys,
So it could be a:-
- GT Pantera 96
- GT Avalanche
- GT Tempest 98

Which one is the best?

Cheers
