From Moots in regards to this frameset.
That serial number makes it a frame made before the year 2000, unfortunately we have limited records going back that far. But based off the replaceable hanger & low serial number it is safe to assume it is a Compact or Vamoots, not an SL. |

I kept the welding log books in my desk, not sure where they ended up, but that would have answered the question. I agree not an SL.

To huck, looking at the serial number, did you give them 0323 or 9323? It looks as if the first digit after the M is a 9, not a 0. Last edited by happycampyer; 10-22-2019 at 05:39 AM. Reason: oops, 9323, not 9325 |

With the O it has to be 2006-2007 or nearby and they have the records for that. Someone got confused at the shop. If it was M 300 something that was 1996 or so, I might have welded it back then, and there is limited tracking info from back then.

1 1/8" headsets has been around since the early 90's. Or was Moots slow to catch on with this trend?

Not sure about the early 90’s- I’d say 2000? I know 99 Litespeeds had 1”, 2000 had 1-1/8”.

Doh, I might be thinking mountain bikes specifically. My early/mid 90's Trek mountain bikes had an 1 1/8 aheadset back in the day. I didn't really get into road riding until around 2000ish.

89 GTs already had "oversize" steerers; though not any aheadset.

Moots says it’s a 2009. Which puts it in line to what the owner said.

Sounds about right- some mtbs from that era had 1-1/4” as well.
