Date the DEAN

[Martin]

I've been after a DEAN for a while now and was wondering if anyone can tell me what year this one could be build.
I mailed the guys at DEAN and the can say that it must be between 1991-1995 ( icw the framenumber I emailed)

So who can give it a shot...

Thanks
Martin

That is the same model I had around 1995 I think it was? 63mm travel corrected for the likes of Judy's.

It has butting inside the head tube, 27.2 post size with a 31.8 seat clamp , 1 1/8 headtube with a 68mm bb shell. Made by Sandvik.

I think it was 1997-98 when the Geometry changed and they lost the rear canti guide? 1999 when the wishbone was added?

Superb frame, lovely welds too.

I can't help you with figuring out the year, but can i be very jealous of that frame... very nice indeed.

I had a similar problem when i contacted Dean to date mine.
They said around '95 with the frame number i gave them (wonder why they can't pinpoint from records?) but mine doesn't seem to be sus corrected.
Sorry about mahoosive pic....... and the saddle

Droooool,

Martin, where do you find them like this? NL?
Lovely forks on the bike in the fuzzy picture.

Thanks for sharing

Waaauw, DD that forks and stem are way too nice!
Those stem/bar combo's cost lotst of money and the newer forks arent that nice.

@Iboc, it's not from NL, found the right (well, most right)size in the US.

And to all, thanks.

Think I am going to build it with kind of m910 groups. But thinking off it right now. Havent got funds so there is some time at the momen.

Cheers,
Martin
