Came here looking for suggestions for my '89 build - but finding good rims in good condition is not an easy task. I have been leaning towards Velocity Cliffhangers - laced to my Suntour XC Pro hubs (it's all XC Pro) - I think I'm with you on this...done hunting for old rims that won't perform...

That's probably my post, I'm looking to replace one that was damaged recently.

Frame type: Wicked Frame number: 13499W Year of manufacture: 1989 Frame size: 21" Color (original and repainted, if applicable): Kandy Wild Cherry Location (city, state, country): Ontario, Canada Owner name: Joe Photo, if possible: attached, build not completed

Looking for a 21" '91-92 Wicked seat tube centre to centre 20.5" top tube cc 23.5" would consider something larger as well. Thank you.

I checked it out - definitely a 21". Delivery date mid June…

Thanks again for the info Scott! So 13499W is an '89 wicked but just trying to determine if the size is indeed 21". Anyone?

is it possible to determine the bike's size from its serial number?

Scott, thank you so so much for the deep dive! I really appreciate you taking the time to share this insider information about the manufacturing details of the bikes during that era, these are details that very few people would ever know about. Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Cheers!

Thank you for sharing!

Hey, that would be cool - i just am curious about the specs for the bike and the geo/measurements. Though I haven't found a 1991 catalogue to compare it to, it would be a good resource. Thanks for your help!

Retro Dude thanks for clarifying - super stoked!!! I'll follow up with some pics, it's going to be a beauty when I'm done!

Hello, I have a 1991 Wicked that I love - looking to acquire another one, it's a 1989. I've looked for catalogues to do the research on my own but am not finding any '89 or '91 catalogues so nothing to reference. Does anyone know if there are differences in geometry or chainstay/seattube length...

I have a 1991 Wicked and run 2.3 Compass Rat Trap Pass tires - they roll really well and fit fine but my chains sometimes hits the rear wheel's sidewall and grimes it up a bit. No big deal.

Hey, what size is this, how much are you asking and where are you located? Thanks.
