Took delivery of this yesterday. Dont know much about it really, year/model etc but looks mid school 90's to me and has some real nice parts on. Set up a bit hoopty for my liking but is in good survivor condition so gonna strip clean regrease and reasemble. Any info would be much appreciated Cheers

Nice

Nuke Proof hubs to 36h Super 7x's - yum.

kev-s · « **Reply #8 on:** February 18, 2012, 02:09 PM »

nice score

looks to be mid to late 90's i.e 95-99 ish due to having cantis no v brakes (hanger gives it away)

the seat clamp, stem,forks and aheadset are exactly the same as the mk1 (94) & mk2 (95) gt fuelers

looks like you got a great deal as the wheels & cranks on their own are worth a few hundred

revcore · « **Reply #14 on:** February 18, 2012, 09:08 PM »

Thats a May 95 model. Awesome score.....That thing is loaded with top notch parts. Loving the early 90's half wrap Flights too.

Thanks for all the comments guys and for dating it for me

I knew it was a goodun, just was'nt sure how good. I like it even more now

essenem · « **Reply #16 on:** February 19, 2012, 07:04 PM »

it looks to me like a 95-97 mach 2. the hanger in the seatstay bridge is what defines it whereas the power series and speed series both came with v brakes so didnt have the cable hanger. also the top tube was shorter on the mach two, usually 19- 20 inches. the code on the bb shell will be a way to get it accurately identified and will also tell you where it was made. looks flipping brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks very much like Nikki Webbs old factory race bike that she sold about 15 years ago. Great score

Just spoke to Nik, and she says it does look very much like it

Like Kev says

You can make out the serial anyway 0595,,, May 1995

Didn't know the Carbon Nuke proofs were from back then

and thought half wrap 401's were a fair bit earlier more 89 ish onwards

As others have said well tricked out beast

Hmmmm Crupi bits

Any chance she could confirm this? Would be really nice to know its history.
