Nice. The following year (1990) I bought a 970 for my girlfriend at the time. Stuck ringle cages and a Fisher Fat Trax 2.2 up front too... She rode it once and hung it up in her dad's basement. Bumped into her a few years ago and she told me it's still there.
It's downright inspirational! Can you share details of the build? I like the bars, are they a threadless bull-moose type thing? And can I assume those wheels are 26? My retro ride needs a new lease on life, and I'm leaning in this direction.
I have a 94 or 95 Rockhopper it was my first real mt. bike I bought it new for like $400-$500 its Rigid and is still going strong I am tearing it down this winter for maintenance and putting alot of the parts I am upgrading on my 1999 GT XCR400 FS bike. that one i am modernizing with a 1x drivetrain thinking of putting that new Box prime 9 rear derailler on it. the XT and LX that was on it are going on the Rockhopper.
