NOS Zaskar

Been looking at this one for a while but one thing I cannot match is that it's a '99 model and had the "older"type dropouts and a integrated seatclamp. My '99 team Zaskar LE has other (newer) dropouts.......
 
I had one similar to this myself about a year and a half back I had a 1999 14.5" Zaskar LE in white with the dropouts like a 1999 Zaskar, not cnc'd as the LE's were. I suspect they had geometry problems with the machined dropouts lining up with the low angle of the stays on a 14.5 frame. What troubles me about this one though is the COLOR.....is this what they called H.O.T. Mango. I guess I never would have thought Mango was a red. I think this one's been repainted and suspect it was unless someone on here can say that this is H.O.T. Mango. Anybody got a H.O.T. Mango Zaskar from 1999??? If so please post pictures. Thanks!

1999 Zaskar (which the frame in question is) had the original type dropout. I sold a 01/99 ball burnished Zaskar frame a few months back with the same dropouts (original type) as this red frame.

1999 Zaskar LE had the cnc'd dropouts.
This was one of the years where there was actually a difference between the Zaskar and Zaskar LE frames. In 99 the tubing, butting and dropouts were different between the Zaskar and the Zaskar LE. You can see this closely if you look at the catalog pictures and read the details closely.
