Dumd question
double chevron:
If any help, Mike...
I've got a Floval with the same 3-ways-brake setup, I was pretty sure it was a 94 model, but former owner told me he purchased it in the US in summer of '92, and showed me pics to prove it.
This scheme lasted only for one year from what I know...

That's interesting. Odd that they put canti mounts (v-brakes weren't even invented in 1992 as I think the first Shimano V-brakes for mountain bikes became available in 1994) on there in the early 90s for a year then took them off again until the mid 90s.
Another example of the real SE Racing being ahead of its time.

The only reason I thought it could be a 93 is after reading this on a US site regarding telling the ages of models from the frame rather than serial number etc…and its got upper and lower brake cable guides….It requires a 1 inch threaded fork so I assume that means its pre 95’ according to this?
'79-'84 = Loop tail
'85 on = built in seat clamp, non loop tail
mid '85 = straight chain stays (only one year before the change)
'86 on = curved chain stays
'90-'93 = lower Pitbull brake mount
'93 only = upper and lower brake cable guides
'94 on = canti or v brake mounts
'95 on = 1 1/8 threadless stem/headset
'98 on = 'SE' downtube decal instead of 'PK Ripper'
'99 = last year for US made products before sale to Fuji
