Very nice, I think it is an 89 based on that cable stop on the wishbone, it's the same as on Nick's frontera as pictured below, the seat post does look extended but as long as it does the job it doesn't matter, all the paul Donohue MTBs that I've seen are all very different so it may just have been specced like this.

It may well have been in for some changes when it went in for new paint, did the seller indicate anything when you bought it? , personally though I wouldn't be that bothered I think it's a great looking bike although I prefer the period correct style of decals

Colour choice was reminiscent of a zinn I had a while back, and I was reminded of the colour by the child's walker....



I loved that green and it does play good with other Donohue frames I have seen with the nicer decals so it made colour choice easy.
