Patrick, yes it is a first generation Cyclone GT(with matching front derailleur). The frame is big, at 68cm. I bought the frameset a few months ago, and built it up mostly with stuff that I had on hand. It is a good riding bike, but a little on the heavy side.
Other notable parts: Shimano 7402 shifters(set to friction mode) Shimano BR70 brakes Nitto dirt drop bars Sugino AT crankset minus the small ring B17 saddle Deore seatpost STX wheelset from a Trek 520 38mm Gravelkings Nitto M12 rack Swift Industries bags Probably a couple other things that I am forgetting..
