Another sweet one for the short folks. I love the paint job, even though its quite beat up. My stable is full, but just curious if anyone knows what model this is?

It looks like an early Legend (ATMO) before they put the Legend sticker on, but it uses the same tubes, and that looks like a painted F-1 fork but with aluminum dropouts, so again early days for the model. I'd guess 96-97 (maybe even 95), I think by 98 it would have said Legend on the top tube and had ti dropouts.

Edit: I just noticed the 3-D rear dropouts which means it almost has to be from 98 or later. Maybe they used older stickers after a respray. If the stickers don't match the frame I can't make a guess. Maybe Legend, maybe Fierte.

Bite your tongue. I didn't hear that, OK?

I would seriously consider buying a 90-ish Colorado in the classic red/yellow fade.

Enjoy your ride,

Yep 3D dropouts, my mid nineties Legend doesn't have the Columbus decal at the top of the seat tube and never did that I can tell so I don't much stock in decals or stickers. The serial number is given in the description, ST49237 which from Angry Scientists' thread indicates a Classique Ti (49 cm 237 production number).
