1997 GT Avalanche LE
This is a privateer's dream. The Avalanche LE is perhaps the best value ever on a Shimano XT-equipped racing bike. But that is just the beginning of the story. The all-new Avalanche LE frame is made-in-the-USA from butted 6061 aluminium, heat-treated to T6. This frame has all the design features of the GT Zaskar, so you know it's built right. The Rock Shox Judy XC fork (the most acclaimed fork on the market) offers the kind of dialed-in performance that lets you ride up front with the best pros. All-in-all, the Avalanche LE for 1997 is the most awesome value for a racing bike on the market.
