I think I have a 1995 MT1000, it's the violet colour. When I can I'll look for the serial number as explained above. We bought it new but I cannot remember which spec it is, I think it's a mish-mash of a 1995 MT1000, I remember upgrading some bits, the Maguras, I think I changed the shifters, possibly the USE seat-post if it is an MT1000. I really like the ride of this tandem with 1 1/2 inch tyres, it feels .... swoopy. It is supple for an ally frame, presumably because of the length or maybe it's just the big fat tyres. We enjoyed riding it again so much this summer that it's inline for some tweaks, mostly for greater comfort.
