GT Xizang titanium

I found this in my brothers garage and was wondering what it was worth. It has a full XTR build and a 21.5" ST and a 23" TT. Any information you might have would be great. Thanks

These bikes have a cult following and yours appears to be in great shape, I'd list it on Craigslist at $1200 and see what happens.

Take lots of photos of the components as well as the frame and raise the seat a bit.

Think that should be raise the seat a lot, it's slammed at the moment, and just looks wrong.

I based my number on his California license plate in the photo. Mountain biking is big in CA and this is the frameset that everyone wanted back in the day and they are hard to find, even now. California is a huge state but if you list the bike in a couple of key locations, I think you can get pretty close to my guesstimate.

I'm just guessing, but it probably sold sometime in the last 8+ years since the thread was started.

Who knows? But don't expect the 1200 still be 1200

Indeed, a top shelf product and much sought after by MTB collectors like me.

it was one of the best frames made by GT and the craftsmanship on it was incredible, people who own these rarities have tendancy to keep them.
