Besides sentimental value, I like the comfortable ride I get despite the oversize tubes. I love the Suntour components; especially the reverse-action front. The Rollercams never gave me problem . I did switch to Pedersen Self-energizing brakes on the front when I replaced the steel fork with an SR Litage. It's also an example of a bike from an era when MTBs were trying new things (24/26 wheels as an example).
