Help needed to id claud bulter & yr

[muddyf1]

hi, no clue about the year of the Claud Butler frame, just guessing its something between 1995-2001 (because in early 2000s frames usually got a disc brake mount at the back), and yes, very likely using Aluminum 7005,
but to me pretty obviously, this is bike is a custom build, with different brakes, different rims / hubs, and components mixed over various years.

The pictures aren't very good to see details, or I need glasses.
The crank might be a Sugino Impel or Shimano Exage, both from Mid Nineties, the rear derailleur looks like a LX 570 from 2000 or later.
The Marzocchi Bomber suspension fork has typically a clear indication of production year, your's should be roughly from 2001.

Yes u are right it's 2002 model only from the front air shock saying it

See the 'FC99' on the sticker? That shows it is from 1999. So the forks are newer than the frame. I suspect it is has been custom built and unlikely any of the components are original.
There is quite likely another different frame number on the bottom bracket shell, stamped in. That will be the manufacturer's stamp.

If you can check the bottom bracket shell for another frame number, that'll give the manufacturing date and an indication of the factory that the frame came from.
