Whoop whoop i've just picked up this.
A lovely original paint 21" Moonrise 1993 Attitude.
I love the colour, it's my size and it's not perfect (which means i can ride it).
Here's a shot of it built up as i picked it up, I've now stripped it down and will start rebuilding it with some different components.
I'm thinking either XTR M900 or Suntour XC-Pro.
A first world decision if ever there was one.

Nope. Just think they are pretty. 8) Ringle Moby is even cooler.
