Help needed identifying a bike. - Pictures now added.

[lk]

Hello to all readers. I have had this bike for about 3 years and have tried and failed on numerous occasions to find something out about its history. I know virtually nothing so can only provide pictures and a little bit of info.

The frame has an initialled stamp 'NV'. I cant seem to find anything on this brand. The front suspension forks are Marzocchi XC 400s, which i believe were produced in 1993. Im guessing by the blue and black adonized alluminium frame of the bike, that it could be from this time. The frame has a rear Marzocchi suspension mechanism but i cant see a product number. The bike itself has has Shimano XT Deore components throughout. Apart from this im sorry to say, i cant provide much more info!

I hope someone recognises something from the bike and replies, many thanks.

Your probably best of posting a couple of pics of it up on here to make it easier to identify, sometimes there are trademark things that you can only really tell from pics.

Yep sorry. My first time on here just just having a quick read up on how to do so.

Looks very much like, the early Iron horse designs, think a couple of other companies did a similar kind of design Kona being one of them. Will have a look and see what I can dig up, someone here will probably know exactly what it is though lol
