Ah yeah that looks more like it in the catalog - thanks! It does look like it has the build from the 1998 2000 too, as black lightning 1987 mentioned - Tarantula and XT/XTR parts. Could be a frankenbuild, who knows.
Thanks for the response, I really appreciate it! Added more detailed photos to an album here. (Mildly) interestingly - the frame does have disc brake tabs - there's some plastic bracket screwed in there now, not sure what that is... I was thinking it might be a warranty replacement frame or...
Sorry to ask for help! I just picked up a 1st gen Raven in my favorite color combo - this was a dream bike of mine growing up + working at a bike shop.
I can't find any model info (1000, 2000 etc.) on the frame itself, and I haven't been able to figure out the model / year via the vintage...
