I recently tripped upon the aforementioned bike today in need of minor
repair at a semi-local pawn shop for next to nothing & decided to buy it, for a spare/guest bike or even the parts if nothing else. From what I can tell it appears to be of the 98 or so vintage. It's a black frame with an aluminum swingarm labeled "Torque Tube". The fork is an Answer Manitou SX. The rear shock is a Fox Vanilla. The Cranks & deraillers/derailleurs are Shimano Deore LX, and the hubs are Shimano STX. The bike also has Avid V-brakes. Can anyone help me verify the year? Anyone have experience with this bike, or the forks & shocks? I'm curious about maintenance & repair, as well as if the bike is worth riding to begin with. All feedback welcomed & appreciated.
