Having been built 12/95, this is a model year 1996 frame.
Technically it is an Attitude frame, as it misses the 2inch downtube and the enforcements for the bottleholders.
Still awesome bike at a great price as it is comes with the Strata-fork and some components. Unlike the 97 "Adroit", it also features an "X" in the serial number. Congrats to the buyer and good on the seller for not splitting forks and frame.
