Like i said the owner of a local bike shop knew exactly what it was when he seen it. 1 or 2 people on these very forums also said it was one of the tx00s probably a t400. T400 is what the shop owner told me it was. He knew what it was cause as i said he ordered them and sold them back then. He had parts cataloges for ordering various replacement parts including my old dia comp breaks. They likly did come with catalever breaks as well as calipers. Ive seen some older fairly high end mtbs that had calipers. I did however notice that his bike is missing the screw locations on the drop outs. So it infact likly isnt a tx00 bike. Intrestingly enough it does have a identical frame other than that one thing.

ooops just noticed it uses a braceon derailer hanger on the front derailer mines a clamp.
