Any pictures? Do you know anything of the history of the bike? I would expect it was imported at some point if it is a Karakoram Elite rather than Corrado.
Would you mind sharing the frame number?

It would be interesting to me as the Corrado and Karakoram frames should be different (True Temper GTX vs Tange MTB Double-butted) but I have the same model code recorded for both which makes me wonder whether the Karakoram serial was actually a Karakoram Elite.
