GT Talera I.D. and info?
This is for sale locally. Can anyone I.D. it and give me some info? Thanks!
I'm looking for something to use as a rough road and gravel, weekend country touring rig. Thanks!

Sounds like I should skip it. Too bad, the geometry looks just right from that pic.

I built it up as a winter commuter for a 26 miles round trip commute. I only used it for that purpose 3 times. only 2 times during the week. it was overkill. my 700c wheeled hybrid w/ 35mm studded tires was much better. I wold up putting smoother bmx tires on it & using it with my kids but never got into mountain biking. now I have a much newer mountain bike from the same brand which I've been using for actual mountain biking!
