GT Psyclone

although I did just buy a '91 Avalanche...

Cool - my favourite bike - got any pics?

I need to take some better pics, but here are two snowy ones

I listed it in the POTM restoration month -thread, maybe doing a build -thread also, although it's almost completed now.

Thanks for the pics - that is a beauty - gotta love 'daktari white'! Yours looks in great condition too - look forward to the build thread

Thats the best colourscheme, and size...and never seen it in that size in that colour.

If it rides just as nice as my GT, I think you will have loads of fun with it!!

Cheers,
Martin

PS, is there still snow in UK?? Or did you buy it somewhere overseas?

Thanks ! Daktari white is among my favorites too, and the condition of the frame is really good. No scratches or dents, and just a few small paint chips (which I have touched up with matching nail polish).

It didn't look quite as good when it arrived though, the paint was really mat and there were lots of black marks, that luckily rubbed of with some paint restorer.

Thanks Martin , and yep, this is the Avalanche that was on Ebay Uk a few weeks back, here:

For some reason these early Avalanches, like you say, seem to be really rare in size 20, so I'm glad I found this one. I have changed a lot of the parts already, but not yet sure which direction to go with it.

There's still lots of snow here in southern Finland, those pics are from my backyard.

You guys better get bidding or I'm going to have it shipped back where it came from

So who got it?
