We snagged a free '97 13" 850 in the flat ink blue for our daughter a number of weeks ago, and that was a great project. It had the full Alivio group on it, though I replaced the shifters and brake levers with a combined Shimano EF51 and put Avid Single Digit 5 linear pull brakes on it. Great little setup.
Mine is bright yellow, and it could be a '97. I paid $50. I'm 6-1 and the head tube is tall enough that I feel balanced between saddle and bars.
