It is. viewtopic.php?t=186025 Stumpjumper1990 has that fork.

Yep definitely the same bike, it's traveled a bit then!

Managed to scan the pages from the 89 catalogue today, trying to get as much history and info on this thread so I'll keep it coming.

I always like to see period history and info on builds - good work

Cheers Si, I'm keeping an eye on your Zinn build . Was lucky enough to ride alongside Sally Hibberd back when I was a teenager when she visited the Hawick CC for a weekend (she was riding for Zinn then). Might be lucky enough to own one at some point.

Re:

So been reading the info on Mombat for the Epic and noticed that the Paul Thomasberg bike they have has a similar serial number to mine "PT026". Obviously the PT is his initials so wondering if the "CW" on mine might signify a riders initials? any thoughts?

Re:

Right so had a quick look through the MTB hall of fame to check out a possible connection between the frame number and riders of the same era with the initials "CW" and have a possible match. Cindy Whitehead and have found a couple of pic's of her riding for Specialized on what looks like an Epic, could it be??
