had this frame laying around the garage for a year or two, then a few months back I decided to get it repainted. While the front end was away getting a new powder coat job, I decided to re-polish the rear end, and found a few cracks. So off to Foes for a fix and refurb. $150 for weld, heat treat, new powdercoat, all new hardware and bearings, shipping and all. Scrounged up a few parts, and here she is ready for the trails again.

Should work pretty darn well for a long travel 6" trail bike, and some light freeride. I think it is a 99 or 2000 model. Not sure, anyone know for sure? I think it was the last year they built the Weasel.

if it helps, it's not the "old" weasel/lts bike, its the last of the kind before it was eliminated from the lineup. There was a 1st gen LTS, then 2nd gen with the weasel and LTS, and then the last (3rd gen) bikes of those type looked like yours

Its either a 2000 or 01, this is a 99, last year of the old style.

it is from the last year they were in the foes lineup, so that must be a 2001 then. Anyone else have one of these. I think I maybe rode it 2-3 times when I originally had it built (was always loaned out....) I am curious if it was worth the time and expense I went through. Was even thinking of maybe getting a 5th element for it, since the Fox Vanilla RC is doing dual duty for this frame and another I have. Would it really be worth the $$ to add that shock to it.

Since you only rode it 2 or 3 times, you should try to recoup some of those expenses from the people you loaned it to that obviously abused the crap out of it.
