Kleins could be custom ordered with most of the color choices back in the day, except Klein reserved the “gator fade” frame color for Adroits only when the Adroit first came out. I have a 92 Pinnacle in Candy Red that was custom ordered when Pinnacles were painted a standard silver.

Added some Tazmon brochures!

Rusty16's 1994 Santa Cruz Tazmon https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/rusty16s-first-year-santa-cruz-tazmon.483580/

I'm finally posting photos of my 1994 Santa Cruz Tazmon that I offered a glimpse of here a couple of years ago. As the Tazmon was Santa Cruz's first bike, this makes this bike a very early example of what Santa Cruz was doing to bring full suspension to the mountain bike scene. Of course, at the...

When I bought this frame, the equalizing pulley was falling apart. After searching everywhere, I found a sliding screen door pulley that was a perfect match! Bought two…

Looks very nice, Woody. Do you have the pivoting pulley for the rear brake? Is that an 18” frame?

Hello, the Tazmons have the serial # under the bottom bracket. The earliest Tazmons had 3 or 4 digit serial numbers. Later, starting 1995, they went to a more standard serial number system with letters and numerals. The first two numbers are the year. The Tazmons originally had an integral seat...

Hello Again…Yeah, Risse is still there, although they seem pretty swamped lately. I’ve been waiting for a shock for over a month and I’m one of the “priority locals”. Your best bet is to call them and talk to either Justin or Kevin. I've heard second hand they’re not great about responding to...

Thanks! Here I am in my stomping grounds…97 Heckler, same color as Woody’s Tazmon…

Hello, New guy here from central Oregon. It's great to see the old Santa Cruz bikes popping up. I've been a fan for a long time and have been renewing several old Superlight and Heckler frames this last winter. I'm currently bringing back a Bullit 1, but am super excited about my latest find...a...
