Picked this up from @SteadyCam with aspirations of making it a project. Not sure what to do with it yet, first step is new cables, bullmoose bars, possibly new cranks to run 1x7 - but liking full DX as stands. Def a respray as the paint is pretty tatty. Any inspiration very much welcome

That's sick! One of the first 29ers it seems? I would't change much, looks amazing as it is.

Yes, there was an Overdrive Comp (with XC Pro group) and this Overdrive (DX group) in the 1992 range, called "Supercross" bikes, which were essentially early 29ers. Both with MTB geometry and decent clearance for 45c Panaracer Smokes, which were noticeably different to other 'hybrids' which were 38C max and more upright.
