I'm trying to date my GT Avalanche 0.0 bought s/h some yrs ago (2005 I think). The paint job is bright yellow with black head tube and some grey bits on down tube & top tube. Rear mech is XTR, Forks are RS Sid hydra air. Finishing kit is Syncros as are the rims. Can anyone help please.
have a look through all of these -- pages of them

Post a picture of it on Retrobike, I'm sure it would be answered very quickly on there (plenty of GT geeks :))
I bought an Avalanche 1.0 in 2004, and irc the 0.0 had that colour scheme then. I remember lusting after it but couldn't afford it!
Cheers guys - I'll sse if I can post a pic.
2000?

Thanks Woody, but mine has a black head tube. The spec is similar but not identical - the Syncros bar & stem look the same though so I might be looking at 2001.

Look like that ?
I reckon a 99/2000 frame baring in mind the one on bikepedia is likely a us version ..... Uk one probably painted slightly different
Woo hoo! Dat's my baby! Spot on trail rat - thank you so much XX.
Quite spooky seeing a clone of my beloved bike. It now has XT v-brakes and a Salsa rigid cro-mo fork. In summer I ride it with 1.35" CX tyres. The paintwork is battered and it's cable-rubbed to buggery... but I love it loads.
