Hi,

This is my first post.
I picked up this bike for free recently. It was over painted with a hideous black paint job and basically in rough shape and unrideable.
I decided to have some fun with this project and gave it a fade paint scheme inspired by some of those Marin Rasta paint jobs.
Does anyone recognize what this frame may be based on cable routing and other clues?
I can tell it's high quality based on the components it came with ( XT, Ritchey, Suntour Microdrive, Tange Struts fork ) and also the low weight and ride quality of the frame.
Serial number is H1N01537.
I added a yellow Salsa sticker to add some yellow to the scheme.

Thanks for your help,

Simon

I can give you the year as 1992 model year.. mainly the roller, secondly the serial, thirdly Suntour.
It could be 1991 though but doubt it.
'factory produced' as opposed to a custom handbuilder.

Any other features?
Full Side toptube routing wasn't very common at that time..
Forks, anything on them Tange? (dropouts, steerer tube)
