Hey about the GT's, there are a few different materials that they use for there bikes, but most are the same. the Avalanche is exactly the same as a Zaskar. just the components are slightly downgraded. yours is 7000 series aluminium where as mine is triple butted cromoly. (stronger than alu but heavier) so i can jump off 6 foot walls....
anyway, i used to have a Heavy Tools Trial frame bulit up with Magura HS33 'Frogs' (Ltd edition) and some real sweet components, (Spent £1600)
was so quick i could woop any cannondale or porsche 911....
seriously i could do a 360 spin from standing still and hop up 75 steps at Milton Keynes train station....

@batesie one of our local shops here offered me a custom built a cromoly softail and it looked pretty cool specially the suspension, i think it's fox or something like that... i was about to buy it but then i came about testing a friend of mine's bike with another cromoly body, and i got a hard time pedaling through a rising road.. pretty heavy but i think it's worth it when you use it for extreme downhilling..
@ayush nah.. i havent seen any sport used mtb in manila with horns... though bicycle peddlers use horns in our country.. in my opinion, a louder voice would be better than horns.. shipping bike itself to your place would probably cost a fraction or even half price of a normal 500$ mtb... in india, do you have mtb shops which supplies bike parts? i think it's better to just do your own bike... ask first the shops of what makes and models of parts you can get and for how much.. do let us know...

@BJ thanx for the reply. Well over here u can only get assembled bikes. U cant get custom bikes
The bike industry is really down the pits here
So I think the best option in my budget will be an MTB from oer here. Did u see this bike? What do u opine? The only thing that bugs me is that they've written its for 9+ yrs ..wtf??

man, check out them bar-ends!
@ayush, how tall are you? if you're 5'10" or taller, i suggest u go for a size 21" or 22" frame bike. that TI looks like a 18" or 19" to me. or i could be wrong, i'm basing that on the "9+ years" remark.

@ayush, our driver has the same frame and fork like the one in the pictures.. i promise you, you'd regret buying that for the rest of your life... when our driver left, hw left his bike with us and i had the chance to use it... okay so it's comfortable and usable for about 5 months and so and after that.. the bike self destructs! the spring on the fork locked and stopped bouncing, the whole frame and fork got rusty, and the rear connecting joint of the rear armbar and the main frame of the chassis is very very jerky, when i turn into a curve, it literally bends because of the arm bar joint thingy and believe me, you cant get a replacement part for that so i bet buying a non suspensioned bike is better...

@ayush almost same chassis mate, btw, are you goin to trail ride it in the woods or just everyday ordinary road trekker? if just for daily trekking in the road, then the both full sus. bike are sufficient, just make sure you maintain it and prevent water from the bike, it's steel you know..
