Thanks everyone - it's amazing how similar these bikes all looked! I checked out pics of Zaskars, Avalanches, and Panteras, and couldn't really pick out any major features that would help me. It makes it more difficult not knowing the year of manufacture, too...

If it helps, it's decked out with full XT including hubs, 21 speed Rapidfire shifters and brake levers as one piece, and Mavic rims. The seat stays say 'Competition Series' and chain stays say 'Handcrafted in the USA'.

I appreciate the responses so far (and I think I really will need good luck finding parts for this fork!!)

Cheers,
velcro.
