mtbman1127,

There are quite a few specimens of that frame here in Malaysia, which were sold as '01/'02 year model NRS offerings. Apart from the raised lettering, the absence of hydroformed top tubes also indicates (roughly) the period it came from. FWIW, even the '04/'05 year model NRS bikes here still came with the extra length dropouts from the seat stays. The only model you can buy here with the shorter dropouts is known locally as the NRS-G.

Not 100% sure about origin, but most bike stuff here comes from from Taiwan via the associated bicycle mafia cartel, oops, I mean regular distributors.

P.
