The other thing about it, is the straight 1 1/8 steerer and simple 135mm QR rear wheel, this make it more feasible to be able to get replacement part, I don't need to build a boost/thru axle rear wheel when I can just get a nice Deore hubs laced to a wide rims.
Took it out and had a blast, the long stem, wide bar, steep head tube, etc. was a strange sensation compare to the modern MTB with the slacker 68-69 headtube and tiny stem, but still quite fun to ride, the 36t chainring is obviously too big as climbing some of the hill wasn't easy, but it actually prevent the chain from coming off/slapping on the chainstay due to staying on the higher range of the cassette than the lower part.
