Surely it’s a bike?

I’m being politically correct.

Hi. I bought a bike through Facebook and need a bit of help identifying the make and model. It is a retro mountain bike which I believe may have been re-stickered as something else. The welds on the frame look nice and it has full retro XTR groupset on it, so I believe it could be something nice. There is no frame number on it whatsoever. Please see uploaded photos at start of post. Thanks in advance for any help.

Looks similar to Ridgeback. However, could it be a European brand?

Thread needs moving to the pre '97 mountain bike section.
Does it have a frame number?

 

[Kona & Cannondale Man]

No frame number was ever put on it.

Interesting-looking frame -- are the tubes (aluminium?) bonded into the lugs or is that just the paint scheme?

 

[Kona & Cannondale Man]

Just the paint scheme.

hi, never heard of Silver as brand nor the model name Krypton Comp. Googling doesn't work well neither.

Maybe it's also good to know in what country or region you have bought this bike, as there had been a lot of local dealers with own rather no-name brands.

In general with that Zoom stem and post, and the bit cheap Tange Struts suspension fork, I would guess this is roughly 1994 year and a frame or complete bike supplied out of Taiwan to a no-name brand to been sold in a specific region.
