Dean Sputnik?

[Carlos]

Anyone know much about these? It seems they only did the original ones in 1997 but then changed them for a 2001 edition softail.
It's odd that a cabon bike of that era wasn't a top of the range rocket, but being Dean, it looks as though they didn't want to offer something above their ti range and so it was specced with LX and XT instead. Does that sound about right?

So in conclusion...nobody knows a thing about these! :idea:

Just that I have a small photo of one in that year's catalogue somewhere.

Like you I've always wondered about this bike, cos I've never seen one, in real or photo, or heard anything about it. Bit of a legend!

There was also the Lunar - carbon front and ti rear
