Title: Auburn?
Post by: thecaptain on November 16, 2012, 12:22 PM: got hold of this, anyone know what year it is or any details about it? wether the forks are original to the frame? was on ebay and threw in a random bid towards the end as it looked cool, ended up winning it!
top tube is 19.5", euro BB

Post by: gib66 on November 16, 2012, 01:15 PM: yep id say they used to be 17.5 to 18.5 ish so maybe bit longer 19/19.5 in the 90s which is right for that .
someone with bit more knowledge may be able to clarify the sizes and the rear end and caliper mount position too as i think mini was made to fit calipers for 11/8 wheels and then there was junior and expert not sure which way round but one would be down from full size and fit 20 inch wheels /and 1/38 as well i think the other still small wheels only

Post by: nosepickben on November 17, 2012, 10:44 AM: It's from april 92, (0492 on the serial number, same system as GT) I guess it wouldn't have CR in the name because it's ally, so may start "AL20Jr" or something depending on exact model.
