I still have one in my garage - and commute on it about half the time.

Mine is an IBOC Comp SX from about 94. It doesn't match the specs from airfree though. More of an XT-spec bike with White Industries cranks. Paid $8-900ish for it.

I loved that bike, and put thousands of trail miles on it back in college. Sat for years and was revived as a commuter. I was a little sad to see the brand, which I'd loved growing up, start showing up in department stores. They even looked similar - large aluminum with bent, two-piece, top tube, many in the same medium blue color.

I guess it was still a lower mid-spec bike back then, but I never had any problems with it. Well, the frame at least. The wheels weren't the strongest things. They're gone now, along with the rear derailleur. Everything else is original. I ought to take some pictures. A search of the internet turned up nothing.
