Thanks, man! I hadn't heard of Nukeproof either until I started researching after seeing the frame on CL. Apparently they weren't that big of a company, and went out of business after this frame was produced. The name has since been bought and the new Nukeproof is producing downhill bikes in the UK somewhere.
I think I am narrowing down a build in my mind's eye.
The anodized red highlight idea has since shifted to anodized blue, do to the coloring on the fork.
Edit:
Got this email earlier this morning after requesting information from the company:
Hi Bryce,
It’s always great to see the early Nukeproof frames. Although the current Nukeproof shares the same purpose and ethos they are in effect a different company to the one that made your frame. Unfortunately this means that we do not have access to any of the details about the early Nukeproof bikes. From a quick look I would suggest that the frame that you have is from the mid to late nineties but couldn’t really tell you more than that. I’m sorry that I could not be of any real help but would like to congratulate you on picking up a fantastic classic frame.
Best regards,
Sam
