Really nice frame. Is it from the "U brake era" or did you mount U brakes to solve a possible rear brake difficulty (and is the frame from the XT 739 period?

The link to the build thread is now up.

I'm pleased to say I have no idea what XT 739 period is/was.
I build my bikes with what pleases me.

Post 1995 as far as I remember. I was just wondering whether the frame was from early nineties (as the U brakes) or from later (the 739 XT)

I build my bikes with what pleases me.

You better!

But nontheless: it's an iconic frame.

From what I can recall it is an early 90's frame.

I think '739' might refer to 1994 when it was the then new shiny M737 groupset.
