Like you said its a great frame, similar touring geo to a newer 26X26" touring bike IMO...which is interesting because around the same time they made a "touring rockhopper" (i forget the name) . Same two-tone paint, but really all they did was add drops and a touring fork to the same MTB frame we have. Wish i could find the specs/name
