Guess my Age

[Deleted member 26715]

Can anyone put an age on it, this one is not mine but a library image but mine is the same, just out of curiosity I wondered how old it was

Judging from the graphics I'd say about 2000-2003.

My guesstimate without looking would be around 1999 given the suspension and brake setup.

Thanks @Jody I tried searching even found http://www.classickona.com but couldn't find it even going through each year now I know the year, went straight to it & found http://www.classickona.com/oldgold/2k2/2k2_xcds_kahuna.cfm typical.

If weather is better, should be taking it for a ride around Rother Valley trails tomorrow, never been before.

Just a thought I now know it's 2002, but it has the fixing for discs, isn't that very early to have them?

They were standard in 2002-2003, see below.

A good place to see old catalogues etc is on the retrobike forum, I lurk over there.

Late 90s was when frames and forks starting having hardware built in for discs but still came with Vs.

Diggers DH which is the trail on your right as you walk up the hill will be running well as it's completely surfaced. Fort Elbow on your left may be a touch slippy in places after the rain we have had/will be having today. Take a steady run down first as there are a couple of areas that can easily catch you out.

I was going to suggest early to mid 00's, so nice to know i've still got it

You can't have it, it's mine I've just put it away

The Truvativ cranks look like a later addition?

 

[Deleted member 26715]

The brakes, rims & gears have all been updated I think at some point.

As others have said it’s about 2002/3. I remember test riding one of these back in 2003. I may still have a magazine review of it somewhere.
