Please help identify the MTB frame
 
I bought this bike from my neighbor.
My suspicion is that this is Ritchey but then again there are no decals, and I cant find serial stamped anywhere. The wheels have Deore XT hubs. Also the bike has Ritchey stem.
Thank!

Here are some photos

Sure looks like it. It looks like the ones here http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=339306. Beware, if you post it on that forum though, those guys can be ruthless vintage snobs.

+1 on asking at MTBR. By the way, they get really upset over there if they think you're asking about a bike just for information to put into a Craig's List or Ebay ad. A lot of knowledge there, though.

Those guy ARE vintage snobs. Have you seen the war over who's gonna be a moderator? They're chasing out every mod the forum puts in. It used to be an OK place to go. Now it's becoming a country club for rich spoiled boys.

I get a huge kick out of browsing that forum. It really makes me appreciate the guys here. They definitely know their stuff, but you have to wade through serious crap to get a simple frame id sometimes.

Looks like a Ritchey...
Go to www.oldmountianbikes.com - Everything old Ritchey MTBs. Look for the serial number on the bottom side of the bottom bracket. The website has info on how to read the serial numbers as Tom didn't really follow a strict numbering order at times...

Thanks guys.
One number of the serial which I found under the cable guide on the bottom of the BB shell is hard to read.
But after browsing the sites you suggested I think it is a Timber Wolf. But then again a lot of the frames look very much alike.
It is a very nice looking bike :)

Well, as was suggested, the frame is up for sale - $300

"Classic vintage Ritchey MTB frame, likely Timber Wolf.
No Decals to identify exact model.
Great condition. "
