take a look here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... highlight=

scroll down - is that the same sort of frame? (The very pale green one)

looks similar with the rocker at the back - although a bit more travel on the pale green one i think

hhmmmm think i'll try and get it and see what it's like - looks okay from photos

I only flagged that one up as although it doesn't seem to say Ventana, several of the other bikes this guy has are Ventanas

good luck

Though similar to the Ventana Marble Peak FS, that appears to be a Ventana Diablo(?) which was a slightly less expensive model if I remember correctly. I've got a very positive MBA review of it. I'll try to get it scanned and posted for you later today or tomorrow.

Ok, it is in fact a Ventana El Habanero. Here's what MBA had to say about it in July 1996:
