I think it is an older frame because I can't find anything online that looks like it.
It appears to be a late 90's GT LTS 1998 GT LTS XR-1000 - the best LTS they ever made! | Retrobike
It looks like a late 90's GT LTS repainted, shocks looks like a rock shox. Usualy on these old bikes, the harder is to find parts for shocks or to get it rebuild.. The other parts are not stock but a mis match somewhat more ore less era correct.
Is it worth $75, it depends how much you value nostalgia or just having a bike to cruise around.
As much as I love old bikes, they are awful to ride is you compare them with anything recent..
Thank you for the info! I'm going to get it . Gave away my old rock hopper but I think this is a slight upgrade because it has full suspension.
Youd probably be better off with a newer hard tail if your looking to keep it inexpensive. Something using more current parts so its easier to find replacements if you ever need. I went the cheap full sus route once and it didnt go as planned. The rear suspension sucked anyway.
I bet the fork is shit at this point, too.
1997 GT LTS-1. I once bought one, but it turned out to be scam, as the bike was in horrid condition. I used it for spares. Saved me an STS-DH with a bad rear end.

It does need some love but I think over all it was a good deal . I don't mind putting some money into it to get it all tuned up . Right now the chain seems a little stiff and the rear shock is kinda squishy.
