New to me CTS?

[flickwet]

Well I found what for me is a dream bike, I believe it is a 2001 CTS, heavily scratched up was apparently much loved by the previous owner. I’m simply going to update her to 11 speed XTR single chain ring etc. If any one has any info about this bike I would be grateful. She is my first Serotta MTB. Her serial no is SP 38 033, I’m wondering if Dave Kirk had a hand in her genesis.
