That's the repainted one that had the disc mounts added by a previous German owner. Anyone grab it?

Uh, well let's see....perhaps a sub four pound fillet brazed frame and the last three "frame only" sales on eBay.com closed between 400-690. Don't get me wrong though because I'm not a big fan for altering and welding onto pencil thin lightweight stays.

I stand corrected (again), didn't realise it was one of THEM !
From the pic (and disc) it looked like early 2000s low end steel bike.
It's not the most striking colour scheme !
PS I'm wondering, why is the Psyclone so valuable now ? Was it horrendously valuable/rare when new ? Why is it the same/more value than a Zaskar/Xizang also presumably handmade from more exotic materials (or is fancy steel more pricey). Hopefully someone can clarify as I wasn't into bikes when it was around so don't really know anything about them.

Psyclones were quite expensive fillet brazed frames when new and were built by some of the best welders around at the time at GT's Tech shop facility in Longmont , CO. A staff backed by engineers that understood metallurgy and combining tubes to get the best out of each tube. I have yet to see a Psyclone frame sell as a high as a Xizang frame but most every time one sells it's higher than what the nicest Zaskars fetch. There may have been one year when 150 were produced. Most years it was much lower. New price for a Psyclone was higher than a Zaskar LE frame but lower than a Xizang frame. The ride is great, the 19" c-c on my stand hits the scales at an even 4lbs which is lighter than a number of upper end aluminum frames during the 91-99 era that Psyclones were made.
