i realize im reviving a dead thread, but i recently picked up a trek fuel 90 frame and decided to rebuild it with some more modern components. a tad heavy at 30 lbs but really not bad considering it's 10 years old already. take apart the bushings and give them a good cleaning, fox float went 10 years without a service, just replaced gaskets and it rides like new! pretty nice ride when set on the plush side, awesome XC bike but not for more extreme downhill conditions. i personally love the way it sucks up roots but still climbs like a hardtail.
