    I remember when GT were the best. What went wrong? Their modern trail, enduro and downhill bikes just aren't what they should be.

    I'm a GT Nomad owner in Hong Kong. My brother give it to me years ago for daily commute, restore it last summer, diy using can spray at home, i spend three week to finish the project. Don't know the parts and setting is appropriate, it feels great to ride on it.Please leave me some comments for improvement.

    I'd forgotten about this thread! I recently bought a GT Grade AL 105 'gravel bike' to cycle to work and as my weekend road bike - so now I have TWO GTs. I must take some pics of the Grade - I'm really impressed with it.

    I posted pictures of my new Avalanche Expert back in May 2015. Here's a couple of more recent pictures

    26890605191_da4aeb124f_b.jpg

    Upgrades included Atherton Pro handlebars, stem and seat, Rockshox Reverb, Rockshox Reba (not pictured), SLX cranks, Shimano XT wheels, Shimano XT brakes

    And here's the last picture I have of it, as some scumbag stole it

    I'm a scrap dealer and have come across a Gt Saskatoon pro frame from the 2006 World Cup series but I have no idea how much it is worth and seems like no one else does either I can't even find it on the Internet
    If someone could help on how I could post photos on here it would be a great help

    From a time when GT were just making rubbish so it's probably worth no more than its scrap value.

    Anyone got ideas of the year model or where to find some specs for this frame?

    You have inspired me to dust off the old arrowhead frame see what components I can scrounge to get it up and running.

    Just built up a 2011 Zaskar Expert (aluminium) as a N+2 bike for winter, but it might become a favourite as it feels quite light and nimble.

    Medium frame,
    Sid dual air forks set at 120mm
    1x10 with 40t expander and Hope 34t chainring
    Pro 2 hubs with Arch EX tubeless rims
    Hope btm bracket
    SLX cranks, brakes, mech and shifter.
    Easton XC70 685mm bars

    Leaving the spacers under the stem for now just in case I don't get on with the bike, as the steerer tube is cut for its predecessor (Cotic Soul) that I may go back to.

    This is my 2003 Avalanche 3.0, I bought it for AU$100 (about US$75) a few weeks ago.

    It's changed a bit since the photos (new cranks and Raceface NW chainring) and after Xmas I'll strip the frame and polish the aluminium. I'll upgrade the forks at some stage but they work ok for now.

    Those bars are horrible. The forks are nasty as well.
    Tidy for $100 though.

    Can anyone identify what year this bike is?

    It's called a Ricoche, I got it for free today.
