I don't have an answer yet, but I'm almost in the same boat. I have a Woodman mount, and I think one of my mounts is stripped in the fork. I had thought about using a locking nut on the inside of the fork leg instead.

I think I've got a leaflet from one of the Bike shows for DNA. I'll try and find it.

Is that frame number U00230608? If you confirm it's correct, I'll check it on my list.

I was searching for a set recently - what were they called?

How about a Devinci? @MSYT has a frame where the serial number starts L192 Did you weigh it?

Just a couple of photos of one of the workaday retro bikes we have around the family. This is Dad's Giant Track, fairly sure it is a 1998 as it doesn't appear in the 1997 catalogue. Apart from the seats, stem and brake pads, everything is original I believe. I've always thought it unusual to...

It's a Shark Fin, but is it an XT one or a cheap copy? Came off a more modern bike. No logos. Overall length 212mm and two cable tie holes.

This is likely to be a January (A) 1996 frame (6).

As @Roasted guessed, likely to be a D521 then!

What's the internal width? That ought to be enough combined with the photo.

Post up the frame number if you can find it.

XT or Tranz X? I've sorted an XT now, so just need a Tranz X one.

https://www.wilcodirect.co.uk Several places around Norfolk and they sell lots of the Weldtite small parts too.

Seat stays look similar to this Anlen Ariel https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/anlen-ariel-frameset.436319/

I use the Weldtite stuff. It's available as a 15g tube which fits in my puncture kit just fine - and I don't have issues with it drying up.

In 1994, Shimano introduced Parallax hubs to the XT groupset. They were also available on many other groups around the same time until the late 1990s. As far as I'm aware, the difference was a larger hub body. But what does 'Parallax' mean and why did Shimano decide to use that word?

Its a 1990 or 1991 from that frame number. I initially thought Shogun Prairie Breaker but I can't find any with matching seat stays. I have Scott, Specialized and Gary Fisher frames in my records with similar frame numbers.

Here's the few I've collected, with the relevant links. In the interests of data privacy, I'm happy to edit and remove any of these from the post if the owners spot their bike ... Can't vouch for 100% accuracy but I've tried my hardest. H1L01604 Pantera...

I have a list culled from forum threads here, mostly Hodaka built Pantera, Avalance and RTS frames - presently 9 for the timeframe you're interested in.

Forks are RockShox Judys I think. Free bump..
