That's sweet. Looks like twice the travel compared to the Tsali. Dig the rear triangle. Seems like a lot more work to manufacture a frame like that. I'm curious what year that frame is also. Just guessing late 90's maybe?

1991/92. 
Its technically a softtail, and has around 3 inches of travel at the wheel. The Fox float shock on it is actually quite longer than the original stock air/oil shock, which had long since died. Its light and funky looking, but there's a reason its no longer made - the suspension design has been overtaken by more efficient and effective technology. This one had lots of pedal feedback and the travel is restrained by chain tension.
But the current owner seems happy enough to ride it practically every day.
More pics:
Canti-brake mounts: another poignant reminder of the days when brakes left much to be desired.

Two birds with one stone. Took a short trip to a biking spot up in the foothills. Got to wheel a tiny bit and had a fun bike ride. The trail was actually doable in 2wd, but i engaged 4lo anyway to get the oil flowin. Haha!

Been a couple of years since I rode. Work's got the better of me. Here a couple of old ones I found. Was messing with the Sir9 and some skinny wheels.
