That should build up nicely, I love the clean lines of these they've aged well.

Good stuff. I think technically you've got a '97 frame (from the shape of the pivot gussets on the rear triangle - have a look at this thread where there is a comparison: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=169613) when they'd moved to the new style logo, but i'd definitely back date it to '96 or 95' graphics. A Judy SL would look good.
The '96 Y-22 is my fave - there's been a couple of really nice Y bikes on here recently. Also check out this site: http://cool386.tripod.com/trek/trek.htm
I have a '98 Y-33 frame literally hanging on the wall in the garage waiting for me to do something with. It hasn't got quite as nice lines to it as the earlier frames, but it has a much stronger mount for the shock on the main frame, and longer 'genesis' style geometry which makes it really nice to ride.

Trek Y - New Project
BG: The rear was replaced by Trek with a new swingarm so yes, its defiantly 97 onwards, the main frame though is either a 95/96 Y22 as far as I can see from catalogues etc...
A really good source of info can be found at:

You need to join but then you get access to full specs and manuals.
Started piecing it together and this is how it looks so far......
