What year is my Hoo Koo E Koo?
I picked this up recently and was wondering if anyone knew anything about it?

I almost bought one of those back in the day, which would have been 1988. The big clue is the chainstay mounted U-brake which was in vogue circa 1986-1988.

I went back and found my 1987 & 1988 literature. Both years were spec'd identically, right down to the color options, so that's no help. If you want further resolution on the year, you'll have to utilize the year codes stamped on the Shimano components.
