GT Backwoods Atomic Rust

[GTkerry]

Hi, i have had this from new and its been stored in my garage for 25 odd years. I believe its a 16" frame and a 1998 model and believe the parts to be original apart from the seat. I havent ridden it that much but never sold it as it was too nice. I am looking to sell as I ride a Ducati now lol Anyone tell me more about it?

Nice. A 97 or 98. Get it in the for sale section with a price

Definitely looks like a 98 to me, catalogues in the old archive section of this site. Prices can be really variable. A lot of time I think it's just down to luck of having someone who really wants what you are selling. But condition looks good which should help. Best bet is to have a look at sites such as eBay and Facebook marketplace and look what similar bikes are going for.

Yes I have had a look at those and think it’s a ‘98. The condition is great. Thanks for the reply, I will have a look and get it on there.

I just picked up this bike in same atomic rust and with front suspension original Rock Shox Indy. but strangest thing is my frame sticker says its 6061 aluminum not 7000 series or 7005... only the Zaskar was 6061. bizarre. maybe mine is a 1999 - did it come in Atomic rust? cannot find a 1999 catalog to confirm, not in the archives here or anywhere i searched.
