I read reviews that this frame kicks some serious ass and for the price I was between this and a 05' Trek 4300 which doesn't have as good as componets.
even top of the line components aren't going to hold up well to 5 years of heavy duty MTB use. Hopefully those components are in good shape for you. And, a top of the line fork from 2000 is not even comparable to todays forks. Hot looking little frame though.
Don't know where you could score a component listing.
