Got this from a family friend cleaning out their basement. It was their son's circa 1999-2000. Also got a Santa Cruz Super 8 in bad condition.

This one has no markings other than the forks. Looks close to a Specialized Stumpjumper, but what year and exact model? Could it be a Klein Pulse or Attitude but different forks. Can't really tell.

I made a list of its parts:

Marzocchi Bomber Z3 Forks
Specialized Comp Team Control 26x2.0 tires
Raceface 94 44T 9 speed crankset 3x
Shimano Deore front derailleur
Shimano XTR rear derailleur
Ringle front hub
DT Hugi rear hub
Shimano XTR front/rear brakes
Thomson Elite seatpost
Selle Flight seat
Raceface Icon stem
Easton EA50 Monkeybar handlebars

Not a klein. Looks like a steel frame. Any information under the bottom bracket? The geometry and lack of disk tabs suggest early 2000's, and those are nice components, maybe a custom steel frame? Check frame with magnet to verify if its steel.

Looks like a nice retro-MTB in need of some TLC.

Looks like steel? The seat tube is unusual near the top. Looks like a muff in the area where other tubes join it. Doesn't look like a Klein or Specialized to me.

Yeah definately not a Klein, not really sure how you could think it was, but anyhoo. There is more markings under the shimano cable guide on the bottom bracket...
Looks to me like something around 1997-2000ish.

You could also ask in the VRC section, they might know more.

The color might not be out of place on a Klein. But then, there were many bikes with that kind of color in the '90s. The frame is just totally not-Klein.

I got nothing. the seat mast cap looks like rocky, but they usually have the seal clamp bolt on the front side. serial starting with T is rocky.

Nothing else to go on here really. It would probably be 92-96 range regardless of brand.

I was saying post 97 as there isn't a brake cable stop (which doesn't mean it is, just usually) and all the parts are ~97 or newer (again doesn't make it so, but puts in the probably)

I wanna say it's something Canadian. The reinforced HT rings and ST sleeve look like a Off Road Toad but the drop outs are wrong. Then there's the upside down RF Real Seal head set and chainrings. Stem is a Icon branded Trek item. Grips look like they're off a Stars and Stripes Kona A Ha cruiser from '97.
