What do you guys say? 1997 or 1998?
 
Re:

I got the bike over the weekend. It seems more beat-up than I expected and with downgraded rear derailleur - it's an older XT, vs the original XTR.

However, it's very light - I'd say 24lbs which is amazing for a steel frame bike.

Maybe a project for next year including re-painting the frame and upgrading a few things like derailleurs, handlebars and the ancient crankset.
 
Re:

As I mentioned earlier, the frame is more beat-up than it looked, so it will need to be repainted or really powder-coated.

Question - do these bikes sell at higher price when restored to their original condition or say more modern graphics? Not that I'll ever sell..

Maybe something like this?:
