When I think; 'what is a mountain bike', it is always that model that comes to mind. It was my dream bike back then and still is now. Lovely!
 
Looks the part but change the canti hangers and it'll be sorted... Love these specialized frames, they ride beautifully!
 
Nice :)
I'm having similar one in smaller size to Yours (now as a frameset not a full bike)
Frame is weight 1941 grams including cable guide down the BB, forks 691 grams!
