The FSR Comp had a black frame (I know, I have one!) and a picture of a Comp is shown under the Ground Control FSR entry on Bikepedia (they have the picture on the wrong page - the FSR had a red frame). You can see a picture of the FSR Comp and its specs at: http://www.mountainbikecatalogue.com/specialized/1990-1999/1997/ground-control-fsr-comp.html
