I'm selling a GT Avalanche 3.0 6061-T6 aluminium frame. The size is GT Small, which is a fraction over 14" centre to centre, 16" centre to top of top tube (see the last but one photo). Top-tube centre to centre length (i.e. not the effective length) is just over 20.5".
From somewhere around 2005, with 2 disinterested owners, neither of whom have made any significant use of it! I bought the bike with the full original spec from the first owner who had bought it for his teenage son, who never used it. I only wanted it for the frame, to build up into a decent women's bike for a family member. It did a very nice job, with an LX/XT mix, Rolf wheelset, Manitou Mars, Easton EA70/EC70 and some Furious Freds. It was about 24-24.5lbs with that spec, so it's a nice and lightweight frame. Soon after building it up its recipient decided that due to an old injury she really would get on much better with a step-through frame. So all the parts came off and I'm left with the frame spare, which has been sitting in my garage for a while. The picture of the bike in its original nasty spec is at the bottom, to give an indication of the size when built up.
The threadless headset is still fitted, the frame takes either disc or V's with the bosses present. The forks are not original and are nasty Suntour - at least as heavy as the frame itself and with the only positive that they match the frame for colour. There's a seatpost and clamp to fit, also a stem, and if you need to do a cheap build I can probably chuck in a few other basic parts to help the build along.
