I had one too and managed to crack the seat tube (if you could even call it that) about one week after buying it second hand. Brooklyn potholes keep it real.
Nice project that. Looks surprisingly contemporary. I seem to remember that buttress seatpost thing being the weak point. That syncros stem was garbage, the aheadset was always coming loose.
I had an idrive mtb in the same colours. It was a great bike but I was terrible at mountain biking, being far too careful.Thanks for the memory!
