late to the party, but glad to have made it. congrats Pete!!! 
looks a lot like this one that had been posted on MTBR. it has a "Built by" decal near the seat tube junction, which in your CL ad, looks to be present to.

Re:
Very close Frank. But the one from MTBR was fillet brazed. Mine is tig. Otherwise, yes, they look a helluva lot alike. The serial numbers are only off by 3 as well. (At least I think that's the case, I saw a pic of mine but I'm not 100 percent sure on the serial).
It's scheduled to arrive a week from today. Maybe earlier if I'm lucky.

Re:
I think it's just the generic one. Not the one with 'Bill B' or 'Chris DeKerf'. I think those decals were earlier. This one seems to be a late 1992 with mostly 1993 parts on it. I'm still learning about it though. Still a long week before it's in my hands.

I can't imagine what you are feeling Pete but the waiting is killing me

Received her this week. Then had to travel for 3 days out of town! I'll post some pics later in the week. The frame is even better than I had hoped.
The fork is crusty, too much corrosion to even attempt to save it. Luckily a much nicer one should be here this week.
The seat post is 2nd gen Syncros, very nice. The saddle is the perforated variety with a Race Face shoulder holder.
The rest was as expected. All XT m73x. I think the XT is going to go on my Hammer which just went out for a powder coat. And the m900 on the Hammer will go on this beauty.
