What size is it?
Give it a go, apart from my much newer S-works its the nicest alu hardtail I have ridden and gives you plenty of speed for your energy input
Reckon you got a great deal there, sold my spare M2 frame on its own for over a hundred.
Only got two left now the Orange (sorry,Mango) like yours and a Blue one that is on the main board in the thread about powdercoating.
Its a 98, the last year they were made in the US
