Very cool bike. I don't remember those Onza brakes but my 1995 M900 came with Onza pedals. Can you post a picture of the bottom bracket? Are the chainrings milled separately or all in one piece? I've never seen that crank or bottom bracket - they were only standard on three models in 1996 (I haven't checked later catalogs).

You should list the frame size. I think that it was stamped in the lower right (as you read the characters) of the bottom bracket shell in 1996. Sizes were S, M, L, and X.

From what I can see, the bike is very close to original spec. The Coda 900 crank and bottom bracket are correct for the year but were actually only standard on three higher end bikes. Catalog shows GripShift SRT-800 X-Ray shifters but the LX Rapidfire shifters may have been a mid year substitution or the result of a supply issue.

Ow nice, a CODA Magic Crank. These were designed by the famous Alex Pong, known for the Pong bike or V4000
These bb's have become really expensive now when I look on Ebay.

Great you have the original chain rings, and to answer black lightning's question, these are separate chain rings.
There is another type of CODA crack were the chain rings are milled out of one peace.

I will post closer detailed pics of the bottom bracket and cranks (I also have the tool to remove the bottom bracket). The chainrings are CNC'd separately, so they can be replaced. The cranks were a VERY high-end addition, one of the advantages of managing the bike store. Frame is a Medium (which I put in the Title of the post), and I really didn't like GripShift at all, so I did pul the LX shifters on. I have a spare front (left) shifter as well.

I overlooked the size in the title. Was the bike complete when it came to the shop and you changed the crank, BB, and shifters? According to the catalog, the 900 crank only came on the SuperV Active 3000 and the F3000. Are the bottom bracket bearings in cups outside the shell? If so, that must be the first bottom bracket to do that.
