I always thought these were one of the neatest looking bikes out there. The multiple small tubes crossing each other makes for some interesting pictures. This was a NOS frame and is likely a little older frame than the parts. We used the new for 1992 Shimano XTR parts that are very lightly used. The WTB roller cam brake on the rear was modified by putting the cam rollers under the brake arms for better alignment.

Sweet. Looking at this frame, can almost see the suspension revolution starting. Can picture where the pivot would be, shock location, etc.
