I can tell you, definitively, is that the non-suspension mountain bikes from that era, as a class, are relatively inexpensive and make very nice-to-ride bikes once you put on some smooth tires (non-knobbies). They are also just this side of bullet proof.

So, even if it turns out to be just one more of many, it is still a GREAT ride. Really!
On top of that- this looks to be pretty much a Class A bike- from the Tange 2, to Superbe Pro, DiaCompe 981, brazed on cable hanger... it's all top shelf stuff. This isn't a run of the mill hard tail ATB.

And that seapost with the adjustable setback is awesome!
