Any ideas what model/spec it is? Fairly local to me.

Fairly low end looking at the fork. I'd be wanting to make sure that seatpost moves if i were bidding. Seller doesn.t know much about it so doubt it's had much maintenance.

Funnily enough Trevor, it's a Soul! 1997, size 17.5. Quite a nice Tange frame, slightly above Cinder Cone level and the frame still made in the Rocky Mountain factory in Canada at that time I think.

Go on, be the first one on your block to have two Souls made by different classic mountain bike companies! Actually you'd probably be the only one in the UK I imagine.

Seller know what the bike and was going to measure it correctly (after I sent him the details)

I posted it the day before you did

I didn't know weather it was the 16 or 17.5" though. Anthony better at that
Basically the same as the Fusion but with the increased drop in the toptube/stays.

I don't know if these frames where built by Rocky as I don't think they where even in the early 90's. Only the higher ends where built by them afaik, and the lower ones built elsewhere but scrutinised by RM and rejected if not up to their standards (at least in late 80's/early 90's they where) but i'm not sure and don't know that sort of detail.
