This is a 93 Attitude, the last year
with the
MC-1 front end and
full-sized rear dropouts. It's a grab bag of parts, most of
which
are
pretty nice. Mavic 217 Rims, Specialized cranks, and Suntour
XC-Pro shifters. The only downside to the parts is the
Manitou
EFC fork. That is slated to be replaced and I'm currently
working
on getting a rigid Klein fork for it. The fork really has
very
little
suspension left and even then, the bike still rides nice. Actually, it's almost like a rigid fork :-).
Once a
rigid fork is on there, it
will ride even better. There are no dings to
the tubes and the bike was repainted in 1998 and used less than a year
after repaint. There are two paint dings on the stem but
other
than that, it's in excellent shape.
This bike was up for bid on Ebay at a ridiculously low price with one
minute left. I wasn't that serious about the bike as I didn't
like the fork but put in a bid for $5 more. The clock ticked
away
and no one outbid me. I was surprised to win and when I did
said,
"Oh crap, I really didn't expect that."
