So a bit of the back story on this frame has emerged. I was pretty sure this frame came from my shop when the owner sent me pictures, at least it had one of our stickers on it. In the early 2000s we were selling 100-120 frames a year, one of if not the biggest IF dealers.
So it ends up that the guy who traded me this frame used to work at my shop (wtf he didn’t tell me when I told him I work there).
It was a display frame made in 96/97 and was sold to make room for an updated display frame in 2000. I guess that’s why he ended up with a women’s frame? -

So this little bird just fell into my lap as part of a sale/trade. It was supposed to be a 18” 2000 Steel Delux. Well it’s a 17” Steel Special, and it’s serial #238 dates it to pre-98. The bike has a canti hanger in the rear, I think Shimano V-brakes debuted in 96?
The Bomber Pro fork has seen better days, gonna swap it out with a rigid fork, suspension corrected 1”? I think a Kona Project 2 fits the bill. Probably replace the 8 speed XTR&XT bits with a 1x10 XT kit I have kicking around.

I've been using a Beacon since July. It has a bit of annoying flicker at low speed (8-10 miles an hour) that my Supernova E3 doesn't have. However when run in a loop with a battery pack that all gets taken care of.
Oh and I'm using it with a Supernova taillight, I'm supposed to be using a resistor wired inline. I tried but I couldn't get the rear light to work. I removed the resistor and it's all working fine.
