91 GT Karakoram Elite

[mrg]

Picked this up a while back, I think is a 91 GT Karakoram Elite, it's in great condition except the seat leaking gel ( Seris Duel Density ), tires look new except dried out side walls and rims have no brake pad ware so this bike was barely ridden. I have had a few 80's-90's Mt bikes but none were this nice ( execpt for my Giant 7?? I bought new for $1000 and only rode a couple of times that's hanging in my garage ) so curious about the value?

I love these early 90's splatter paint GT's. I have a '92 GT Tequesta with almost identical paint as yours but my blue is a little brighter. These are going for $50-$150 local and collector value is slightly higher.

Just sold it the other day for $150. Thanks

Cool deal! If any of these cool paint early GT's pop up local in 14.5" or 16" size I'll buy 'em all. Yours appears to be 20". There was a black with white pins local for $40 but had to pass as it was a 22" size. I was disappointed as it was one of my favorite colors.

I bought one of these GT's at a bike swap in mint condition for $140 road it for 6 months then sold it on CL for $200. Solid bikes but a bit on the heavy side.
