What Dekerf do I ride?

[Pogo]

Help, I'm going senile.

I've always thought I had a Dekef Mountain but I can't be sure of purchase year therefore it could possibly be a Generation. What are the defining differences for me to be sure?

Re:

The Mountain has a fillet brazed seat/top tube joint and open seat stays.
The Generation is fully tig welded with closed seat stays.
The Team/Team SL/853 have fillet brazed seat/top tube joints and plugged seat stays.
There are further differences for other models, so a pic or two would help (and serial number).

Re:

Cheers for the reply, frame looks fillet brazed, serial number DEK 328.

I'll post photos, having an issue with Photobucket at the mo.

Re:

I'm afraid full blown photos may give a few on here a seizure! Currently it's running Reba's, front disk and a tubeless rim.

Thanks for confirming its a Mountain, it must be about 20 years old now. The old girls still going strong.

328 would put it somewhere around early/mid 94.

And Vs on it are blasphemy.

Why thank you, a man of estimable taste. In which case you will no doubt appreciate the hammerite cover-ups to the various paint defects such as the non-drive chain stay.... Looks like a fresh application may be required.
