Rockshox Indy SL? Was it NOS in 2003 when you built? I thought the Indy went bye-bye long ago.

all the parts were bought new. so im thinking it could be NOS
the bike itself is in about 8/10 condition, with 10 being brand new.

It is just a bike.

I did a little research (you could too, y'know - - google is your friend), even found one of your posts (nearly identical) on some other forum. Frames were made by Vuelta (the cranks and wheelsets people) using a decent tubeset (7005 Dedacciai). Sometime after their demise, the frames were being blown out by ediscount bike (well-known ebay bike parts liquidator) for the princely sum of $49.
