It's a really cool bike- the old ATBs have a smooth ride on pavement, but aren't exactly nimble either on the road or in dirt. I've got an 84 Stumpjumper with the bull moose bars and an 87 Schwinn High Sierra- both of which have that LONG chain stay length- I think that wheelbase and the not-exactly-light tubing contribute to the smoothness of the ride.
