I think it looks cool, and I dig the fact that they tried to do things different than what you usually see.
Re: I think I want.....
My first MTB was a Fs...still have it though set up for wife . Some trails a Fs makes the ride nicer so if you can have one of each it gives the choice of ride , which is always nice to have! Must say I have no clue about that model of bike so no word from me on that.
Relax and have deep water thoughts.

Re: I think I want.....
I got froggy and jumped. $50 bucks. It's a 3x7, all aluminum, canti's, all shimano (rapidfire, not grip), mavic rims, tight as my ex-wife's ankles clinched together, the elastomers are shot, but I have researched some fixes. It has two scratches total and some weird snake charmer thingy's in the tires? Kind of a snakebite fix or runflat wannabe? No wear, and only an inch shorter than my A2MS. Ritchey tires with 90% tread. The fork is COOL, it's a Girvin/Vector and looks like a reverse springer you'd find on a Harley. Post pics soon.
Boooo though..... 1" steertube.... though I think I'd screw up the geometry if I put a regular Manitou or Judy on it. I was gonna rape it for the grouppo and start back in on the A2R but I think this thing belongs in the Smithsonian.

You can get the forks with a one inch steer tube...They do not show up everyday but they are out their...but if those forks can be rebuilt why not keep it how it came...if you want a old set up that is.

Re: I think I want.....
I am. It's some cool stuff.... The elastomers are hard as hell to find, and a little spendy. Options are innertubes wrapped tight with zipties, not sure about that one. But one cat used some 1.5 " rubber test plugs, the type that plumbers use to seal off the end of a pipe, you know the kind with a wingnut.
Damn my ole' lady is a little pissed.

That is cool that you are working to save it as is...and ....( as I hide to say ) They are always pissed off about something!
