I never came across yet a MF catalog for 1994 unfortunately and indeed the typcial 1995 catalog isn't including an "Alu Ultra".

Still, I've just found it in a bicycle buyers guide CDRom for 1995 from the German Bike magazine.

BTW: the optical gear display of the XT brifters at your bike is also a clear indication for the 1995 model.

@joglo, thank you! You've sold the mystery for me!

Old riding buddy of ours had one of these and THREW money at it, even had a gen 1 hope mechanical disc brake on it!

If you've still got this, I'd be interested to know what the frame number is - Most likely it's a Pacific frame, so will start with a 'P'
