I've only seen one other of these in this size (17.5") in over 10 years of collecting. I've seen plenty of the 19.5" versions, though. I wonder why that is...
I would love to own this, but it's collection-only from Worthing UK, and I'm in USA...
In fact, I think that's the quote I'll be most remembered by:
"I'm in USA... "

Yeah boi!
I have a factory original build in 19.5” (equates to a 18” to ride). Lovely finishing kit from Ritchey with RockShox Mag 20’s, XTR M900 in the main accept XT U brake and pedals.
Hardly ridden I believe, keep meaning to strip, clean and re grease but life’s been a bit hectic.

Re: Re:
I actually lost count. I'm an old f@rt nearing retirement, and I've just been buying bikes and stuffing them into shipping containers in anticipation of restoring them when I retire. I don't seem to have a lot of free time these days, but when I retire, I hope to be to mountainbike collecting what Jay Leno is to automobile collecting.
I can see it now: "incorrigible's garage", or shed, or shipping container
:facepalm:
I certainly hope to build a big garage one of these days. I could probably afford one sooner if I just....stop......buying.....bikes. (God, that was tough to say!)
I also used to be extremely active (running, lifting, biking), but pain from hip issues that I had corrected with operations 45 years ago started returning about 10 years ago, so I stopped doing physical things and started collecting bikes. It's frustrating, to say the least, and something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I was told by an orthopedic surgeon that I can look forward to hip replacement surgery someday; that it's inevitable, and that I'll know when it's time. So I got that goin' for me. Woo hoo!
I really should at least start riding regularly again, if for no other reason than to burn body fat, which apparently is something else I started collecting right about the time I started collecting bikes, but which obviously is not nearly as attractive as bikes. That said, and in answer to your question, I don't know which e-stay rides the best, but I'm extremely biased in choosing the steel Nishiki Alien because that was my first MTB in 1989.
I think I may have gotten a lifetime of riding done from 1989 to about 2001, especially the first 5 years or so, because I pretty much lived on that Nishiki Alien. I was monomaniacal about getting in at least 2 hours of riding per day in addition to running about 3 miles every other day. Each day was a challenge to do better than the day before, so I gained some serious skills (IMHO) during that time, and it was all on a rigid (NO suspension) frame. I never seemed to get enough of it; it consumed me.
Sorry for the rant. The next time someone asks, how many bikes I have and why I don't ride them very often, I'll just refer them to this thread. Sorry also to the mods if they want to move or delete this as I totally derailed this thread. The Haro in the OP's post was sold anyway, but not to me.
