Found an ancient GT Avalanche in Newport village in West Wales yesterday. My first significant bike was one of these with an early set of Rock Shox Mag 20 forks. It was propped up outside a shop and belonged to a foreign girl who rather embarrassingly turned up while I was photographing her bike!! I guess she correctly assumed I was a loon, despite inarticulate attempts to explain I had one 15 years ago and that it brought back fond memories!!This one was the fully rigid version with adjustable geometry forks. It has had luggage racks, a narrower bar and adjustable stem fitted. I don't think they started life with Shimano XT components, I think that's a later addition.
