In my experience talking to early builders, those guys' memories are not always right on the money. Especially when it comes down to pinpointing specific years. Sometimes with us being heavily immersed in all the minutiae, etc we might have something like the exact dates down a little more accurate than those guys that haven't given it a bit of thought for 30 years. Not saying Tom's off a bit, but just keep that in mind. The parts, including the bullmoose, all look like '83-'84.Phil press fit. It is possible that the frame/fork/bars were shipped to Canada and built up later. Tom sent an actual voice recording to Alan saying it was a 81 Timberwolf?
First, Tom is not the go-to guy on dating his own early '80s products. His records and numbering systems were so casual that others have had to sort them out later, like geologists dating strata by comparing them to others of known ages.well it measures 21" and Tom said the first 2 digits are the size. Dunno if Tom says its an 81 and its a timberwolf I would tend to take his word over you bunch of smucks.
Niiiiice! Looks a bit more dignified than that sparkly paint it used to haveQuickies:
