1995 Corratec bow 202

[Guivd]

Yesterday I discover it on a garage sale. After the business done, a partial cleaning and remove the winter spikes tires (!), here my corratec bow 202. Colorful like a rainbow. A new ano blue seatpost will come soon, and maybe some old green michelin wilgripper tires.

great find

looks good with the Bomber; not sure about the year - def. not a 97, also the 96 looks a bit different, maybe a 95 :?

A hippy somewhere in California just tasted the rainbow.

Really like this, very

95 would be very early for discs wouldn't it?

thanks guys for the precisions

I guess the fork is a 97 model although it's engraved 96 on the arch. (Maybe the fork was added later on the bike?)

Here a picture of the disc mount on the frame, it's not the same like the other bow frames I saw, who the brake calliper is "inside". This model also don't have the manual adjustment of the pads…

and does some corratec experts would have old catalogs in pdf?

not really, Corratec was one of the forerunners in terms of disc brakes - def. they use disc's on their 96 Team Bow range. 95 is just a guess, as I dont have the copy of the 95 brochure, but Team riders used disc's in 95, as seen on the cover of the 96 brochure.
