1994 Parkpre Pro/Elite, the oversized titanium tubing is the giveaway. Also it doesn't hurt that I have the MBA that photo first appeared in. That's not XTR parts on it, that's the XT group which got much slimmer in 1994, including low-profile crankarms. The frames were welded by litespeed which is why they spec'ed a litespeed titanium stem. For the money (about $2500USD complete) it was good value in 1994.

The RM hammer is a 1996 Hammer Race. Deore LX group with a quadra-21R fork.

I did think XT afterwards, but the pic looked a bit more like the flatter XTR to my eyes.

Wasn't the 1994 Pro/elite Satin in finish though ?
one min....

The difference between satin and polished is merely a few hours with some polishing compound and a rag. If the owner took the time to remove the decals (honestly parkpre wasn't a great brand name to want to admit to riding back then) then he probably took the time to polish the finish. I used to polish up my 1993 RM Stratos.
