Thanks! It's an Alpina Pro, Triple butted chromoly lugged frame. All I've done to it since I bought it was replace the seatpost, handlebars and both front and rear derailleurs with a set of Mountain LX I had, replacing the Suntour Montechs that came stock. I repacked all the bearings, took everything apart and cleaned, lubed and replaced both derailleur cables and put a new chain on. The bike came to me completely stock with just a couple minor scratches in the paint, this bikes seen few miles in it's like, everything looks new including the Araya RM25 factory rims, and rides very nice. It came with a slingshot handlebar stem which never felt comfortable for me, these Bullmoose bars are perfect.
