Interesting stem and bar set up. With a kinda pricey headset.

I guess these are Multi pull brake levers with indexed shift levers. Not sure which model they might be.

Deore XT derailleurs and pretty nice wheels.
These are Deore Xt hubs with 3x lacing on the back and radial on the front. Makes me think it never spent much time off road.

These are Deore LX hubs with 3x lacing on the back and radial on the front. Makes me think it never spent much time off road.
There is enough here to rebuild it, but I am not sure about what I would do with it. Lemme know what I should do with this mongrel. Smiles, MH

The V-brake levers are LX as well, the same model was sold for BMX as the DX and painted red/black.

Probably a GT avalanche or some other mid tier model. I had an avalanche at one point, but am not super good at GT models. People over at retrobike would likely figure it out pretty fast.
