I had one of those as my first mt bike, had shimano LX components and i paid around $500 for it..bought it in 88 or 89 i think..awesome climbing, tight trails bike with the short chainstays..i eventualy ran a Trek suspension fork on it without any consequences. The bike shop i was using at the time (Bikesport in Harleysville, PA) sold it for me. Wonder if that is my old frame...lol
