I think he's looking to sell it. I'd have bought it if it was larger!

I don't think they had "large" per se. Balfa had a single frame philosophy and made a regular and a "long".

Crazy days.

totally different era, no? The frame is almost 10 years older than the fork…but cool bike regardless

We had one of those frames in the shop at John Henry in around 2001, in which Kyle Guay soon bought it. That fork came out around the same time, maybe a year later.

That frame I think is around a 2000 model year, within a year or two.

ah I think you're right, that looks like a Palmer era FSR with the hole, maybe…98, or 99 at the earliest, maybe a 2000 like you said?

I think the super monster came out in 03 but I'm probably mistaken again, seems like yesterday/seems like a hundred years ago at this point!

02 to 04 for the Super Monster , as for the FSR that,s a 24" rear tire that was later in the 90,s early 2000 era

Serial Number says she's a 1999 I think
26" frame, but has dual 24"s on it

just rebuilt the fork for the owner… feels great
