This is a 92 Attitude. 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. 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.
Pretty
much everything is going to be replaced eventually. Recently I
picked up a rigid fork. I'm polishing the fork and will be
putting decals that I made myself on it. I have Avid levers and
Tri-Align cantilevers for it. These parts are pictured below.
I plan on having some blue anodized parts on it, but not too
much. Green anodized parts are another matter, they are pretty
rare.
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 due to the fork
but put in a bid for $5 more. The clock ticked
away
and no one outbid me. With twenty seconds left I was screeching,
"Bid, damn you, bid!" I was surprised to win and when I did
said,
"Oh crap, I really didn't expect that."
