Restoring a VERY neglected 'mystery' full squish

Today, I don’t even know what we’re restoring. None of the original labels were on this mid 2000’s full suspension bike, but it turned out to be a diamond in the rough. We break this bike down, restore it to its former glory, and sell it to someone who will put it back on the trails.

To figure out what bike this is, you need to find one that matches
https://wheelsmfg.com/derailleur-hang... this derailleur hanger #49

The brake levers were dated 2006, and the fork damper was dated 2008

This bike looks very similar to the Santa Cruz Heckler, and Superlight. However, the cable routing and rear triangle design are very different upon close inspection.

The Diamondback Atroz also looks almost exactly like this bike, however the derailleur hangers don’t match, and the rear triangles have significant design differences.

The Cannondale Rush looks very similar as well, and indeed the cable routing matches. However, the Rush uses a different derailleur hanger and has noticeable design differences all around the bike.
