1997 GT Backwards
The closer you get, the better the Backwoods looks. It’s chock-full of brand name features such as WTB tires and saddle, Shimano shifters and LX V-Brakes, Tioga headset, and KORE handlebars. But it’s what you can’t see that really makes the difference. Details like the double-butted Cr-Mo Unicrown Bologna-cut fork, the 7005 heat-treated aluminium alloy frame, stainless steel spokes, and an alloy racing stem put the Backwoods ahead of the competition.
