Help identify the year of this Stratos?
- Thread starter BC
- Start date
It's got the fastback stays right (I saw it one of the FB user groups), so it's 1993 or 1994. Odd decal, yes, but it's just decal. They might have made a short run of them? I think the Japanese frames had a 'K' in the serial number, or am I confusing that with something else? Where's IShaw?

Re:
That's 1993 text style, all had a bit fancy text that year.
Fast back and welded on the slight side cable guides too.
But it would be light blue forks and normally yellow text.
They're not in the 1994 catalogue iirc.

Here's a link to one with what appears to be the same font... I would't worry about the rarity of a decal.
I think Fluffy Chicken knows the details on the serial numbers, if/when you find it.

Re:
I doubt they suddenly made these in house as they're the bargain basement Alu frames.
The thin air and vertex are the more expensive and use a slightly different design. I think four 1994 it was replaced with the Vapor?

Thanks everyone. SN is YA29369. Yes, I thought I had seen all the decals/fonts/graphics as well.
92 to 94, Rocky was experimenting and doing a transition to include alum frames being done in-house. I wouldn't be surprised to learn it was welded up in Canada as at the time, they didn't put the "hand built by..." decal on frames that weren't hand-built in Canada.

Built-in the year 1992. YA, like the style of drop out being the same as the other Stratos before, is the farmed out one.
