It has the wrong rear suspension unit on it. that is why it looks completely odd. Them Trek Y's were great bikes to look at.

Does that bike just have the wrong fork on it? Or, I was thinking, that maybe the head tube angle corrects itself when there is weight on the rear suspension?
Looks like a way too long eye to eye shock measurement which also explains the giraffe-like BB height. That said, in hindsight mountain bike technology and geometry was genuinely terrifying in those days anyway

Haha, small world!
I live in Reading and have laughed at their De Rosa bartaping/bike-building in general - perhaps even this same one!
Do you ride a lot around these ends? Always up for riding with new folks
