hi all, a most excellent site you have here.
i have a 96 (I think) yo, serial #YO ML 1039 in the chameleon fade. as many have posted before me, this was my dream bike in college and i picked it up about 6 years ago for $600 (complete bike). it had already had some parts upgraded, and i have done more as the time has passed. i still ride it a fair amount. it's been on the white rim trail in moab as well as many of the more popular rides down there, in fruita, st. george, etc. i also ride it quite a bit where i live (in park city, ut).
i am not to much interested in doing a full period restoration (although i probably have most of the parts). my current project is converting it into an ss, which will put me on it even more than i already am.
i hope this is the right forum and please excuse me if it is not, however i have a few questions and would appreciate any help:
am i correct with the year?
what (if any) rigid forks would have been sold with this bike? and is there any way to find them?
was it built with fromt suspension in mind?
where is the best place to have it re-painted?
i have seen a thread on stickers (which i guess i'll need for the re-paint) is there any word on if and when they will be available?
P.S. I'll upload a picture when I get home if anyone is interested.
